Feminine and unique! Shopping on King Street inspired this lovely fashion accessory. Variations of this headband are in many of the upscale boutiques. This design serves as a headband or ear warmer or a snuggly cowl. The knitting technique creates a double thickness of knitted fabric so this is extra warm.

A great stash buster for various yarns. Use worsted weight, bulky or super bulky. This pattern has many choices and options. Instructions are included for all. There are also several choices for connecting the ends of the braid including Kitchener seaming, mattress seaming, or no seaming. This design slips easily over your head. An optional button adorns the side. Step out in stylish fun.
