​Panda Bear Knit Headband

You'll need:

50g of 100% mercerized cotton (135m/50g) of light-blue, white and blue colors;

Straight knitting needles 3.

Head circumference: 47cm.

Used Patterns

2 x 2 rib;

Stockinette stitch: in right-side rows - all knit sts, in wrong-side rows - all purls.

Stitches control: 23 sts = 10 cm (stockinette stitch).

Instructions

Cast on 58 sts and knit with rib, starting form 2 purls. Increase 2 sts 4 times and 4 sts 6 times in the end of each row. You'll get 90 sts.

All the increased sts are included in the ornament. Increase 18 sts in the end of the next row (totaly, 108 sts) and knit 2 cm around. Then, knit 5 cm with stockinette stitch. Then, 2 cm with rib. Bind off the sts due to the ornament.

Knit eyes and nose for your panda bear due to the scheme with "stitch in stitch" seam.

Make 2 pompoms from the light-blue yarn with 5-6 cm diameter and sew them to the sides, like panda bear ears.
