In mid-winter, one sip of sweet dandelion wine brings back memories of summer meadows and clumsy bumble bees. This headband evokes that feeling through bright dandelion colours and crossed-stitch textures.

This is an advanced beginner pattern. This pattern uses crossed-stitches, which do not require a cable needle. There are illustrations included in the pattern to help explain how to do crossed-stitches.
