Sewing Pattern: Basic knit fabric headband

I’m always looking for projects that use up the scraps of knit fabric that I have left over from making t-shirts. I don’t like just throwing the scraps away, but it’s a lot harder to justify the hoarding of knit scraps as for woven scraps. These simple knit headbands by Cat from Mary Martha Mama are a great way to use up your knit scraps! They’re made from a rectangle (easy cutting) and take just a few straight seams (easy sewing)!
