This headband is the third in a series I’ll be releasing in tribute to those suffering from/affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. These pieces feature the colors of the Italian flag in recognition of the nation that has faced the largest number of deaths from this outbreak, but please feel free to make one in the colors of your own country as well!

To support makers worldwide in quarantine or stuck at home, all of these patterns will be completely FREE. However, I do ask that in lieu of the several dollars you might spend on a pattern like this, if you have the means to do so, please instead make a donation of this amount to your nation’s healthcare workers or related organizations in support of the fight against COVID-19.

This pattern contains step-by-step instructions to create your own Coronavirus Tributary Headband in 3 sizes: toddler, child, and adult (head circumferences 17”, 19 1/2”, and 22”). This headband features the stripes of the Italian flag in a star st pattern, and is worked seamlessly in the round. Available in English only.

Materials Required:
~20 yds each (15 for toddler) worsted weight red, white, and green yarn (I used Red Heart Super Saver in Cherry Red, White, and Paddy Green) or preferred colors
Size US 8 needles
