Knitting Handspun Blue Merino Wool

This month, in the Knitting Help Forum, we're making hair accessories for the April monthly knit-along. I've chosen to use the "Scrunched Pony Tail Holder", designed by The Knitting Fairy.

After looking at my stash, I decided to use some of the beautiful blue merino wool I spun on my spinning wheel a couple years ago. It's such a lovely color, I couldn't resist.



The pattern is very easy. You just knit every row until your band is 10 inches long, then connect the ends and seam an elastic inside. Nice.



Here are the ends connected:

And seamed around the edges:


And the completed scrunchie!


I tried it on, and it works very well.
