This is a joy to make! No counting stitches, just measure your headband size, and get to work! Its easy to learn and you’ll want to make several in TONS of different color combos! It’s also gorgeous done in solid colors too. No gauge is necessary. It’s also a great stash buster if you choose to use 2-3 different colors. This pattern is worked from the bottom up, and is a fitted beanie, but can easily be customized to a slouchier fit.
