Duvino Headband
Heads up! This post contains affiliate links which means I get may get a commission if you purchase something based on my recommendations here.
I made this gorgeous double knit headband as part of my Craftsy course, Adventures in Double Knitting. I’m very happy with how the double-knit aspect of it turned out – it is absolutely gorgeous and I didn’t make any mistakes! Yay! Unfortunately…. I had gauge issues and this thing turned out to be fit for a giant’s head. Boo!

notes
- I totally failed at following the instructions for weaving in the ends, so they will probably pop out, but hopefully nothing will unravel or anything.
- Going to have to do something drastic to fix the size-issue if I ever want to wear this thing. Wish me luck!
