Seed Stitch Head Scarf

Here is a skinny head scarf I knit in the seed stitch. I cast on 10 stitches; row 1: k1, p1; row 2: p1, k1. Repeat rows 1 and 2 until desired length. I personally made mine 45 inches so I can tie it underneath. I used Naturally Caron Spa in Berry Frappe and size 5 needles.

Head Scarf
