My bellydance class got together to make these head scarfs as part of our costumes for our upcoming performance. I will tell you, making lots of pom-poms is really something best done in a group- much less tedious.
It is rather incongruous with my street clothes, but you get the idea. We used Full o’ Sheep by Stitch Nation yarn. I really love the great vibrant colors in this line. Nice to be able to grab a 100% wool yarn like this at a big box store too (I live in a No Yarn Store Zone unfortunately).
We just hand stitched a simple tube for the scarf from fabric scraps. I’ve inserted a clear headband in mine for extra stability. Excited for our performance next week when we’ll be wearing these!
ETA: Wow just realized I totally missed my 5 year blog anniversary! Probably because I can’t believe it’s been 5 years!
Whoo hoo! Happy Blogiversary :) I can’t believe you live in a no-lys zone. That’s so sad! How do you feed your habit?
So fun!! pom poms have the ability to make anything seem more whimsical.
I love this! I rarely consider yarn for costuming unless I’m thinking about hipscarves, but it’s way more versatile than I ever seem to remember.
Happy Blogiversary!
I had my first experience with making poms last holiday season. If they weren’t so cute they would a bit of a pain in the arse.
Happy Blogiversary!
my goodness! i know you from a few years ago for your knitting patterns. i dropped by today for the bookscarf pattern and was shocked to find you, as i am, working on your bellydance costume! that headscarf is super cute; i’m sure we’ll be stealing it soon.
