Name: Viridiana
Created by: Ellen, at Knitti Politi
Vintage style Viridiana is a leafy fascinator hair band inspired by the styles of the flirty thirties. It is based on a vintage 1930’s crochet hairband photo I saw and loved and I came up with this knitted one.
The hair band sheath is knitted in one piece using the double knitting technique and is seamless; there are photos to guide you. The leaves are knitted separately and stitched on.
