Knitting your own headband is a fun and rewarding project. However, once you’ve completed knitting the desired length of your headband, you’ll need to know how to properly close it. In this step-by-step guide, we’ll walk you through the process of closing a knitted headband. Let’s get started!

What You’ll Need

  • A knitted headband
  • Tapestry needle
  • Scissors

Step 1: Cut the Yarn

Using your scissors, cut the yarn, leaving a long tail – about 12 inches should suffice. This tail will be used to seam the edges of the headband together.

Step 2: Thread the Tapestry Needle

Thread one end of the cut yarn through the eye of the tapestry needle. Make sure you securely tie a knot at the opposite end of the yarn to prevent it from slipping through the eye.

Step 3: Seam the Edges Together

Hold the headband with the right side facing up. Gently align the two edges of the headband, making sure that the stitches line up evenly. Begin sewing through the stitches at one end by inserting the needle from the back to the front.

Continue to sew the two edges together using a whip stitch. Insert the needle through the next set of stitches, going from back to front, and then back to front again through the adjacent set of stitches. Repeat this process until you reach the other end of the headband.

Note: Take care to keep your stitches neat and even throughout the seaming process.

Step 4: Secure and Finish

Once you reach the end of the headband, pull the yarn tight to close the gap. Secure the end by weaving the yarn through a few stitches on the backside of the headband, and then trim any excess yarn with your scissors.

Congratulations! You’ve successfully closed your knitted headband. Try it on and admire your handiwork.

Final Thoughts

Closing a knitted headband can seem a bit daunting, but with these step-by-step instructions, you’ll be able to achieve a polished and professional finish. Remember to take your time, ensuring your stitches are even and secure. Now you can create beautiful headbands to keep you warm and stylish during those chilly months!
