The design of this headband is focused around the Chinese Good Luck Knot. Chinese knotting is a traditional textile practice that is said to have begun perhaps as far back as 100,000 years ago in China. The practice has both spiritual meaning and practical purpose and is often found within Chinese art. The Good Luck Knot begins with a single cord that symbolizes good luck, which is then locked for all time
into the knot. In this pattern, the knitter will learn how to tie a Chinese Good Luck Knot. The headband can be knit for any size head—from tiny baby to adult.

The headband is knit in a stitch that has elements found in the Good Luck Knot.

With the knot and the headband pattern, this headband will bring double good luck!
