Lova Projects: Bulky & Super Bulky Weight
This page will be continually updated with details from my finished projects knitting Lova in bulky and super bulky weight yarns. These yarn weights create cozy ear warmers. For thinner headbands see the posts for fingering weight or DK weight. An introduction to the Lova pattern along with links to tutorials can be found by clicking here.
Bulky Weight
General sizing guidelines:
Rows 1-4 make one repeat. Depending on the yarn I typically knit these with either size 10.5 or 11 (6.5mm or 8.0mm) needles.
- Child (1 year to 5 years): 18 repeats
- Older Child / Adult (5 years+): 20-24 repeats
