For me, summer isn’t summer without baseball. There is nothing like going to a game on a warm summer night. The only problem? I can’t wear a baseball cap. My pixie haircut quickly turns me into a boy when hidden under a hat. What’s a knitter to do? Fashion an adorable bow headband in her team’s colors to wear with her team t-shirt, of course!
Detroit Tigers Bow Headband
(The bow headband is still cute not worn at a baseball game, and the color you choose doesn’t have to represent any baseball team!)
Double moss stitch bow and i-cord tie are held together by a double moss stitch loop. Knit with sock weight yarn, this bow is a great way to use up the tiny amount of yarn you have left over after your latest sock project!

Striped Bow Headband
I had been on a super knitting streak in the month of April. Lace shawl, Traverse City Tube Top, and The Loop Tank were all April FOs, not to mention two baby sweaters and a failed tank I knit most of. So you can feel me when I say that I haven’t felt too keen on starting a big project.
Luckily I haven’t had to! I have been knitting, of course. I don’t think a day has gone by where I haven’t knit since I was 17. One of the little projects I knit was this bow headband as a quick wedding shower gift last weekend. The bride requested no gifts and, as has been documented, Colleen’s wedding gift isn’t finished, so I just taped this little bow on the card and it was adorable!
I used Regia self striping sock yarn in Partie – I think. Stupid Italian tag.
