Front of Loom Knit St. Patrick's Day Headband |
The front of the headband has the belt and buckle and the back has the Shamrock/3-leaf clover attached. You can find the pattern for that here: Shamrock-3 Leaf Clover. This can be adapted to any loom. For a headband use a loom that would make a tight hat on your head (1 size smaller). I use the green KK for my head and it makes a perfect adult ladies size headband. Go smaller for a child. The green KK loom also fits the neck of my German Shepherd. She is a normal 60-70 lb. female. For a larger or smaller dog just use a loom that fits over their head and it should fit. For small dog,s lesson the rows evenly throughout pattern. If using a small gauge loom, I recommend using more pegs for the gold belt as it will end up smaller.
