same sweater, different project.
so what to do now with a sweater with no sleeves?
since the AE sweater has such a sweet design down the center
i though why not make a knitted headband?
what you need:
1. scissors
2. needle & thread
3. a button or buttons
optional:
liquid stitch
cut along the outside of the pattern, be careful not to cut to close
because it will fray. Cut the full length of the sweater.
Wrap the headband around your head and mark where you will need a button to keep
it tight. Use the needle and thread to sew the button
in the necessary location. At the opposite end of the headband,
cut a small slit in the sweater to wrap around the button.
This is where you could use your liquid stitch to
run along the edges to clean
it up a little. I on the other hand enjoy the rough look
without using the liquid
stitch, but we all have our own taste.
With this button close style headband you can either wear the
button in the back or in the front, both are shown below
