Piano Head

Every week during lockdown, I chat over video link to my best friend, who is a music teacher. She lives in the chilly North West of England and is always cold. She teaches recorder to primary school students, and commented that they find it hard to concentrate when she is on the other end of a screen. What could be better than a musical inspired gift which combines warmth and the ability to entrance small children? Piano Head was born!

Piano Head is knit sideways. Starting with a provisional cast on, the knitter uses a chart and chooses the amount of repeats they wish to obtain the required length. The headband/cowl is then joined in the round using 3 needle bind off or Kitchener graft. Videos are included to show provisional cast on and the two alternative bind offs. Instructions are given on how to to adjust the height of the headband.
