This headband is a fantastic introduction to brioche knitting. It’s a quick project that can be done with leftover yarn.

It can be worn with a pin or without.

I designed this pattern as the first in a series of 3 brioche knit alongs. Each one builds your brioche skills in a logical, non-stressful way. (See the note at the end of this pattern.)
