A few months ago, I started designing some knitted headbands for my daughter. You undoubtedly already saw the Roses Are Red headband that I designed for the latest issue of Knitcircus magazine, but now I have 2 new headband designs to add to my personal pattern collection just in time for Spring!

Introducing..  The Bees

(Modeled by my five year old daughter and her little friend. These girls are so sweet together.)

I had so much fun designing these!
This pattern comes in sizes to fit a baby, toddler, or child.
The band is knit in garter stitch which makes for a nice stretchy fabric that stays in place.
They are super fast to knit up and a GREAT solution for leftover sock yarn.

I chose Louet Gems Fingering weight yarn for these headbands, but really any sock weight yarn would do.
