My Aunt Juanita knew how to accessorize! She loved scarves, big sunglasses, jewelry, and she could pull them off! It seems fitting that this chic headband be named after her. The rich depth of color of the nubby hand-dyed yarn combined with a twisted stitch pattern produce dramatic texture. The entire piece is worked flat in Rick Rack Rib with one big cable at the center, then seamed using a hidden seaming technique with tutorial provided. This simple project is ideal for travel knitting, stash-busting, and makes a great gift!
