Home Spun Head Scarf 2017 Part 2

Home Spun Head Scarf 2017 Part 2

New Plied Ball of Wool

















In order to match the Head Scarf body I decided to stick with the 3.25mm circular needles.

The pattern I am using is not mine but one I have used before to edge other items such as my Purple Head Scarf

Purple Bamboo Cotton Headscarf











This purple Head Scarf is what I based my Spun Head Scarf upon though the first one was more triangular in shape and knitted with Bamboo Cotton.

Knitted Edging













As stated this edging pattern is not mine but Barbara Palmer’s. It can be found for free online. I will post the link at the bottom of the page.
Sewn Edging
















I made the edging long enough to sew all around the main body plus enough to tie. In the above photograph I attached one edge to the bottom right photograph and carried all the way around until it met. I then sewed the two edges together and left the tail.

Now on the bottom left hand corner I picked up 5 stitches on the needle and continued with the edging pattern until I reached the desired length.

At this point I have to admit I made a mistake. I miscounted and cast off one wave too soon. As it appeared long enough to tie I left it as it was as I couldn’t be bothered to unravel and correct it.

Home Spun Head Scarf Washed & Pressed









This is the final result. All that is left is for it to dry and it is ready to wear.
