I just finished this cute Chunky Fiola Headband and really enjoyed making it! I used CaMaRose Snefnug, color Askegr (!) – that’s light gray to you!! 🙂 The yarn is of the “blown” variety and super soft. This took 1.4 skeins, so 3 skeins would make two.
You start by knitting a long tube, which takes a day or two. This is a gift for my daughter, so I made it longer — about 24 inches. I had read on someone’s project page that you lose a couple of inches in length when you do the chains. You drop 3 sts all the way down in 2 places for the two chains. Then you hook back up, four loops at a time. That was the fun part!! Then you do some weird folding and seaming. The pattern includes full photo tutorials. So, a very quick and unusual gift! Super warm.
I love it!!
PS to Alison: The method described was pretty fast. Three sts were dropped that were right next to each other, so it had to be done after knitting.
