Datters Headband

Datter is Norwegian for daughter. I designed this headband for my daughter at college who needs to get up and go fast and still look beautiful! This is a thick lattice cable knit headband. This is a great project to use yarn from your stash. It would look good in speckled, semi-solid, and solid yarn. Make as a gift and then make one for yourself.

30 inches total length.
I-cord is 7 inches on each side and the body is 16 inches.
