Boho Hair Tie

Looking for a quick summer project? This boho hair tie is the perfect project! This project is a great way to use up some of your scrap yarn because it only take 1.5 yards of yarn! Yes, that’s all! You could easily whip up one of these bad boys in a half hour.

I came up with this pattern because I wanted an easy way to keep my hair up and out of my face without using a rubber hair elastic. My hair has a very bad habit of getting tangled in elastic hair ties and it is very fun to try and take out (totally, sarcasm).

This hair tie would be super cute for the beach or pool this summer! You will definitely get some compliments on this and you can tell them that you made it! (Bonus, if you sell finished projects this would be perfect for markets!)
