For many years, I was a crochet-only gal. I will always love crochet and consider it the more versatile of fiber arts, suitable for anything from amigurumi and sturdy baskets to delicate garments. However, these days, I’m also branching into knitting. This twisted headband, knitted entirely in stockinette, isn’t perfect – but it’s soft, stretchy, very wearable, and I’m super proud of it.
I worked with leftovers of Malabrigo Silky Merino, a dreamy yarn that’s such a delight to handle and knit (and crochet too, of course!). The technique is super simple: just make a rectangle of the desired length, then fold and sew it together using the method in the Easy Crochet Velvet Twist Headband video. That’s it!
Now, on to the next project… possibly something bigger that requires a gauge swatch.

I knit as well as crochet. I like them for different things and they have their own advantages and disadvantages (much easier to fix a mistake in crochet!). Also, some yarn looks better knitted and some looks better crocheted.
The headband is gorgeous!

Thank you! I’ve come to the same conclusion – variegated yarns look better to me knitted than crocheted, unless it’s a very subtle variegation or slow gradient.
