I designed this pattern as an addition to Grains of good sweater

UPDATE JANUARY 2023:

this pattern has been updated to make it print friendly and to match the template I’m transitioning to. The “TIE SECTION 2” stitch count has been fixed and updated with correct stitch count. The negative ease has been implemented upon request of makers.

The goal was to utilize the leftover yarn after knitting the sweater and making a headband that would go well with the sweater.

Construction: The headband is knit flat and then it’s ends are tied into a bow-like knot.
