Headband
If you want to check your gauge
bear in mind that your are casting on double the amount of stitches
that you want.
For example for the headband I wanted it to be about 5" wide so
that would be 10 stitches, therefore I cast on 20.
Cast on 20 stitches with yarn A.
Attach yarn B with slip knot.
Knit the first stitch on the needle with A. Purl the next stitch with
B.
Continue until the end of the row.
At the beginning of the next row twist the 2 strands together so you
don't have a gap.
Knit with B and purl with A.
Continue until it is the length you want. I did mine to 23" for
an 11 year old girl.
I was a bit concerned about the elasticity of the fun fur, so I then
added a small tab to sew velcro onto.
Bind off all fun fur stitches only. Continue to knit st st for an inch
or so more.
Bind off.
Weave in ends. Sew velcro onto the flap and the other side of the band.
Muff
Cast on 80 stitches with
A.
Knit in the same manner as above.
Continue until piece measures 11'' (or desired length)
When binding off I knit A and B together with A and then I bound them
off.
Weave in ends. Sew seam.
I got the double knitting technique
from here http://knitting.about.com/library/bldoubleknit.htm so if this
is at all unclear you may want to look there for clarification.
