Northward -headband is the perfect little warmer for cooler weather. There are a few short rows to make the headband sit on the head nicer. Northward uses three colours, but you only work two colours at a time. The pattern repeat is divisible by 4, so there is no long floats to catch. Due to small repeats the size is also easily adjusted. Northward would be a great project for a fairly new colourwork knitter, too!
