You can now purchase the Hair Necessities pattern as part of a kit in our online store. The kit includes &Make DK, free pattern PDF and &Make project bag. Purchase here.

With the scrunchie firmly back in fashion we have the perfect pattern so you can have fun making one or more to fit your wardrobe. A headband can be so much easier to wear than a beanie, and our design is just the thing for chilly spring walks or to keep you warm on cooler evenings.

Hair Necessities includes a classic twist headband and a complimentary hair scrunchie, each with three stitch options. This hair accessory set is perfect for beginners wanting a small easy project to try out different stitches.

The edges of the headbands are kept tidy using the Distitch Selvedge Edge technique by Assia Brill.

&Make SS23
Developing designs for The Fibre Co.’s &Make yarn range this season was all about creative possibilities for your making journey! The results are fun playful designs in both knit and crochet for the wardrobe as well as the home. Each pattern provides an opportunity to learn something new, while gaining a beautiful functional finished handmade project. The different textures, colour options and techniques come to life in designs that are simple to create yet high in style.
