I was inspired by this tutorial: http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/crochet-earwarmer-or-headband Instead of crocheting, I knitted one instead. I wanted it to have more stretch so it can stay on my head. This took me about 4 hours to complete one in one sitting. But I am very happy about the final product.

Instructions

1. Cast on 25 stitches.

2. Knit as many rows, until it fits around your head. (Make sure to stretch the knitted piece while you measure)

3. Once you get your rows done, cast off, then sew the two edges together with your yarn needle.

4. For your other piece, cast on 15 stitches.

5. Knit using the stockinette stitch (knit, purl) until you get the length you want, then cast off.

6. Take the piece you finished knitting, and wrap it around the band piece (hiding the seams), making sure right sides face each other.

7. Sew the edges with the yarn needle, and turn the little piece inside out.

8. You're done!
