I love this one because the creator calls it the “snugglery.” This is also a great one because it gives different variations. For example, the first instruction is to cast 14 stitches- she says she uses a long tail cast for her knit stitches, but that it is not required, and gives other options. You can use 9 mm needles that are circular or straight for this project.
The thermal twist headband is a great one to work on if you love worsted weight yarn- which is just perfect for any winter day. The written instructions in this blog post are fantastic, and she has tutorial videos as well.

This stylish twist will have people asking where they can grab one. The creator tells you exactly what to do from the first stitch to the last stitch with extremely clear instructions.
This last one is so much fun because it can be a headband OR a necklace! If you are someone that feels like you have so much yarn everywhere, this will be a great project for you.
