Yarn bomb in Philly

This colorful installation is a collection of crocheted potholders by artist Anu Tuominen. In much of her work, the Finland-based artist redefines the function of basic, everyday stuff. She finds neglected and unloved goods, and by reworking these things, she gives them new life as conceptual art.

I don’t know what that is, but it looks incredible. :)

Oooooh I think my task on the plane to Tokyo is now to reverse-engineer this!

Dainty Little Headband
I whipped this pattern together as a means to teach myself three new techniques: Provisional Cast On, Cables (both front and back) and the Kitchener Stitch. I also exploited my seed stitch and stockinette stitch for the bow.

Materials:
Yarn (really, any weight, depending on how thick you want the final product. The yarn I used was scrap, at about a medium 5 weight)
US Size 7 (4.5mm) straight needles
Cable Needle
Darning Needle

Headband:
Using a Provisional Cast On, cast on 6 stitches.
R1: C4F, K2
R2: P
R3: K2, C4B
R4: P
Repeat until desired length, taking care to end on a repeat of R3.
Bind ends together using Kitchener Stitch.
Finish in ends

Bow:
CO 14 sts
R1: K1, P1 for entire row
R2: P1, K1 for entire row
R3: K1, P1, K11, P1
R4: P1, K1, P11, K1
Rws 5&6: repeat Rws 3&4
R7: K1, P1 for entire row
R8: P1, K1 for entire row
BO
Finish in ends

Cut a spare strip of your yarn (about 20”) and use darning needle to stitch the bow to the headband, cinching the centre of the bow in as you whip stitch.
Knot off, finish in end.

Voila!


Once you finish your headband, make sure you take pictures and show me them on Ravelry!
