A very quick simple to knit project can be accessorised any way you like, just add a touch of imagination and you’re away :)

Looms :
a round hat loom to to fit the size of head you are making this headband for. Examples are :
green 36 peg knifty knitter
regular gauge Decor Accents hat looms
1/2 inch in gauge CinDwood Crafts 51, 59 or 66 pegs
3/4 inch in gauge CinDwood Crafts 40 or 42 pegs
KISS loom with appropriate number of pegs in your choice of gauge
Decor Accents wonderloom or AJAL set to the hat size of the person you are making this for.

Basically any round or hat size loom will make this project.

Yarn :
approx 30g of any acrylic yarns from your stash

For the one shown in the photographs, I have used 1/2 inch in gauge loom and two strands held together of two different pale yellow yarns, one is crinkle crepe acrylic baby and the other is a standard baby acrylic both are DK but leaning towards sport weight.

Decorations :
more scraps of acrylic yarn from your stash, beads, sequins or anything else you want to add for decoration.
