How to Yarn Bomb a Guitar Stand

We're still in a pandemic and Hubs has been living it up being at home and expanding his musical repertoire.  So, he's gone a few brass instruments but his first love is with guitars.  He's gotten a bass so that his electric guitar has a companion and a mini ukelele to complement his "regular" ukelele.  He has a steel string guitar but ... He's really loves the sound of a classical guitar. 🥰💕💕

So, I've been encouraging him to purchase an acoustic nylon string guitar and he keeps saying well, it may not work with my guitar stand. 😱😭


So, to "remedy" the situation (& stop any further excuses), I yarn bombed it! 🤭👍🙌🥰  And here's how I did it:

For the arms, 

  1. I casted on 12 sts & join in the round.
  2. Knit 7 rows.
  3. K2tog, k 8, k2tog for a total of 10 sts.
  4. Knit 29 rows then do a three-needle bind off.
  5. Repeat for the other arm.
For the "head",
  1. Cast on 24 sts and join in the round.
  2. Knit 5 rows.
  3. K2tog, k8, k2tog 2x , k8, k2tog for a total of 20 sts.
  4. K.
  5. K2tog, k6, k2tog 2x , k6, k2tog for a total of 16 sts.
  6. K 4 rows then do a three needle bind off.
  7. I used a thin para cord and pony beads so that the "cap" could be cinched when in use (& not fall off).

And here's what it looks like, all gussied up:


Looks like he'll need to get that guitar now ... 🤷🤭🥰😘
