A seamless double-sided headband to match my Sunbeam Dog Coat as featured in the 2022 Shetland Wool Week Annual, the motifs are the same as used in the dog coat and are reminiscent of retro fishermans Fair Isle ganseys. One side features small Norwegian stars and the other a seeding cross motif all over. The headband is worked in the round and provisionally cast on, once the knitting is complete the two sides are brought together and the two ends grafted.
