Free Pattern Friday – Ski Bunny Headband

So picture this: You have one skein of our new Mighty Stitch Super Bulky yarn, maybe because you just wanted to play with it. But what do you do with 44 yards of this lovely yarn? Well, we have the perfect quick knit for you – the Ski Bunny Headband, a new free pattern by Kimberly Golynskiy!

You’ll be thankful when the temperature drops, for this snuggly warm headband that’s knit in one piece, with no seaming! First you knit a 12″ icord, then increase, for the super simple body portion of the headband. Once that’s done, you’ll simply decrease down to make another icord for the other side. Easy peasy!

Then it’s my favorite part – pom-poms! I think every project should include cute fluffy pom-poms, plus it insures you won’t have leftovers just hanging around. The best pom-pom makers I’ve used are the Clover versions – they’re super easy to use and always create the perfect shape.

Once the pompoms are attached, you’re ready to hit the slopes…or simply keep your ears warm when the winter winds start to howl. This project is super quick as well – an hour or two from start to finish – which makes it a fantastic last minute gift for your cold weather-loving friends. While we love Mighty Stitch Super Bulky for this project, this also works well with our other super bulky yarns, The Big Cozy and Tuff Puff, if you want an even warmer headband! Since it only takes one skein of yarn, you’ll be able to make one in every color of the rainbow.
