Amimi Makes... A headband, in a broken down car, in the snow!

So this week it snowed in NJ… A LOT!!! So I had an “adventure”. In actuality I broke the car on a hill trying to get to work L. My car decided it was a sled, and it didn’t want to turn or stop going slow down a hill. I’m fine but the car is in the shop.

So I had to be rescued by my fiancé and thus had time to kill. I had leftover yarn in my bag from my dads’ scarf and my knitting needles so I made this cute headband! (Tip: Always carry yarn a needles in your bag)

I have been experimenting with patterns so today I bring you a chevron pattern!

I ended in a seed stich diamond by casting off each end of the line.

I left one stich on the needle to chain off a loop for the button.

To create a matching button I took the little bit of yarn I had left and covered a button I had on hand.

I found the knitting was a bit scrunched up in places so I took an Iron to it to flatten it.

Stay warm dear reader!!
