Tunisian Knit Headband

In my search for new crochet projects, I am always trying new stitches and techniques. My Crochet Answer Book and YouTube have been lifesavers this winter. I wanted to make a headband that had the look of knitting, but I am terribly slow at it. That is when I discovered the Tunisian Knit Stitch. It is one of several Tunisian stitches, and makes for a beautiful headband. My pattern came from Amy Depew's blog. Thank you Amy for this beautiful pattern. I made a few adjustments to the original pattern, and this is what I came up with. I purchased the yarn from Amazon. It has by far been my favorite yarn this year. This headband has been popular among my family and friends, and I imagine several will be made for Christmas gifts this year. The flower pattern I used is here. I hope everyone enjoys making these as much as I have. I plan on eventually finishing a scarf to match. I will post the matching fingerless gloves later. I think this would work well with any yarn. I used the recommended J hook.

Pattern Notes:

To make the 3.5" width, I made 15 stitches.

For the middle portion, I made 32 rows.

I did do the trim, since it gave a nice finished look to the project.
