 I know that knitting is fast becoming a lost art, but these patterns are so wonderful I would consider picking up my needles again. I hope you'll enjoy these patterns as much as I have. Feel free to peruse them and print out the ones you want to try. I'll add new ones as often as I can. Have Fun! GARTER OR RIB STITCH HEADBAND From Coats & Clark's Book 190, "Learn to Knit."
