ABOVE: With one roll tied behind the other, the hat is worn in true halo fashion. A single roll can be worn by itself if you prefer it this way. AT LEFT: For variation, twist the two rolls and obtain this very smart turban effect.

Nothing could be easier to knit or more effective to wear than this smart two-toned halo. Start now.
