I started working on this pattern back in 2013, just before my husband was diagnosed with cancer. I put it aside, and have picked it up periodically since he passed away, but when I came across it in a big box of PHDs (projects have done), I decided it was time to finish it.

While experimenting with this stitch pattern, it reminded me of quilting - another one of my favorite pastimes. It will fit just about any size adult head, but can be adjusted easily. A self-lined earwarmer/headband is listed separately.

My mom taught me, among many other things, the love of creating - I hope you enjoy making these as much as I did!
