Pink Rose Bow Knit Baby Headband Pattern (Garter Stitch)

This is my third project of how to knit out acrylic yarn leftovers, and I’m not looking for easy ways, like knitting a big blanket. I decided to knit something that will be useful and handy during the chilly autumn season. Check out my previous project Bear Baby Knit Romper for more inspiration. Today I am going to share with you how to knit a lovely baby headband with a bow using gorgeous texture of garter stitch. This pattern is created for beginner-level knitters and can be easily adjusted for any size. The headband is knitted for a 6 months old baby but if you follow easy-to-knit tutorial you will quickly find out how to adjust it for the adults. Headbands are really nice accessories for those ones who want to have a unique look with benefits of the hat. Take your needles and let’s have an interesting journey with me.
