Kumo Headband

Kumo Headband is a simple and soft headband knit with three strand of mohair held together. It's knit in double knitting, which creates a double-layered fabric, and gives it an even finish on both sides. It's also a perfect project for stash busting, since it only uses 20 g of mohair (less than 1 skein).

Introduction to the pattern
Kumo headband is knit by working the first tie. Then increases are worked, and the band is knit. Decreases are worked, followed by the second tie. Finally, stitches are cast off using the kitchener stitch.
