Tutorial: Wide headband for runners from t-shirt knit

Jane at Maiden Jane shows how to make a wide headband from stretch knit fabric, perfect for running or other activities when you want to pull your hair back. The stretch knit fabric fits snug but not too tight. If you’ve made projects from knit fabric before, you may be able to make this from your scrap fabrics. If not, you can do like she did and get the knit from an old t-shirt. She shows two ways of making one – a simple sewn version, and a no-sew version. Go to her blog for the tutorial and a pattern.
