If you’re learning to knit you can make this adorable, giftable headband with just one ball of yarn, one set of needles, and 5 skills: casting on, the knit stitch, slipped stitches, binding off, and a little bit of creative sewing.

This beginner-friendly pattern was inspired by one of the local farm yarns close to our shop and it works up just beautifully! There are notes for making different sizes and widths and you can work that 50-100g skein you’ve been saving into a gorgeous statement piece for yourself, or work up a bunch as gifts for friends, teachers, bus drivers, or donations!
