It’s time to knit your new favorite comfy headband! La Brique Headband is pleasantly roomy and lined with the softest yarn. The beautiful fingering weight twisted rib shell catches the eye while being extremely light. Then the bulky yet fluffy lining provides a quick addition of warmth and comfort. The top-down in-the-round construction makes for an enjoyable knit before you sew the two pieces together. And the unique shape conforms to the head perfectly. The result is a headband that is so light yet cozy that it feels like a warm hug. You’ll be relaxed while knitting and wearing this satisfying headband!
