COIL headband

The construction of this headband is easy, and with the super bulky yarn this project knits up astoundingly fast! You have options of working it either in 1x1 ribbing or Stockinette, for each of the fabrics would create a reversible or a unique look on each side for this headband. Once it is washed and blocked, you simply braid it up in a certain manner. Which will remind some of baking, and you might remember doing paper crafts. Both ends of the headband are then grafted in pattern to create a seamless look.
