VIP Wristband
Pattern description from Knockdown Knits: “This quick, easy wristband is just the ticket to getting into the after-party. make them for your visiting team in their team colors to show them a little love after the game. Knit in garter stitch, then felted, you can crank these out in no time at all. The VIP is added on using the needle-felting method. There are also additional instructions if you want your wristbands to have a little surprise - you can make them glow under black light!”
