Figure out your gauge in whatever stitch you want to do (probably garter?) Measure head and subtract an inch. Let's say you get 5 sts/inch in garter and your head minus one inch is 20". You would pick up 100 stitchs (5 x 20) and knit the band as wide as you wish. Bind off on a needle 1-2 sizes larger to insure a nice elastic bind off.<BR/><BR/>Dixie<BR/>Yellow Dogyellowdogknittinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02326806806216624636noreply@blogger.com
