Headbands are truly timeless and iconic accessories. The lace pattern featured in this headband is both elegant and slightly vintage, making it a perfect heirloom accessory with a timeless vibe.

Rose des Sables headband features an interesting construction as it is knit in two directions. It is seamless, grafted at the top, and has an I-cord edge which is knit at the same time. A bow is created to cover the seam.
