Join Lulu Ferris to watch the complete class and sew along at your own pace.
What you’ll make
Sew a wide stretch-knit headband with an interlaced Celtic-style knot. Its enclosed construction creates a comfortable finish without a bulky seam at the nape.
Wear it to keep your hair controlled at the beach, by the pool, or with the bohemian vest for a boho-inspired look.
What you’ll learn in this class
- Check the grain and greatest stretch before cutting.
- Choose a ballpoint or jersey needle for knit fabric.
- Sew the strips with a serger or standard machine.
- Form the interlaced knot from two folded strips.
- Enclose the joins for a smooth, low-bulk finish.
- Turn the band and close the opening neatly.
Fabric and supplies
Choose a knit fabric with good stretch, and check its grain and stretch direction before cutting.
You can also upcycle stretchy sections of old T-shirts or other knit garments.
Make it your own
Make the band narrower for a slimmer look or reduce its size for a child. You can also cross the final joins, although that variation is slightly harder to assemble.
Try different prints or solid colors to change the look of the knot.
