We all have those little scrappy yarns and wondering what to do with them. This headband is a perfect scrap yarn project, it uses four different colors but can be easily modified to use more or less colors. The headband is knitted in the round and the knot is finally finished by sewing. A video tutorial on sewing the knot is provided. The colorwork pattern is quite easy and this would perfect pattern for first stranded colorwork project.
