Knotted Headband with tshirt yarn

I think tshirt yarn is perfect for a knotted headband!  I even have a quick video on how to form the knot.

I think we've all seen that fun Knotted Headband by You Seriously Made That - - here's a refresher:

Cami did a great job and I followed her tutorial for the "knot" part of the headband.  So go there for that.  But instead of crocheting long strands, I used Tshirt Yarn.

If you're wondering how to make t-shirt yarn, just cut strips from an old tshirt (mine were maybe 3/4 in wide) and then pull on them til they turn in on themselves.  Sometimes the tshirts won't roll in on themselves - I've had this happen a couple of times.  It just depends on the type of knit fabric they're made of - but most should roll in to form a "yarn".  I cut 4 strips and sewed  them together so I had 2 extra long separate strips.  That easy.

And a weird self-portrait-in-the-mirror, trying to show the headband:

UPDATE:  I finally got around to taking a semi-better picture.  Let me tell you - headbands are really hard to take pictures of!  Anyways, I love the idea of a headband topping of a messy bun - it makes it just right:

I think it turned out great and I enjoy the subtly of the gray.  Since tshirt yarn is stretchy, I just sewed the ends together and covered them with a scrap, instead of the hot gluing to ribbon like the tutorial.  Here's the connecting part of mine:

Super quick and easy.  And comfy to wear.  You should try it!
