Keep your journal or notebook secure with an easy, quick-to-knit band with a built-in pen tab. The buttons are sewn through both layers of the band, but of course you can add button holes if you prefer. This small project is great for knitting on the go, as well as for using leftover yarn. Makes a great gift too, especially for pen-loving pals.

Needles (US 2 2.75mm, or size to get gauge)
Cable Needle
Tapestry Needle
Buttons (3, approx 18mm)

Finished Measurements: Approx. 2” wide. The sample shown fits a journal with a circumference of 22” (10.25” high), and uses about 90 yards of fingering weight yarn.
