Because this is a two-way knit headband pattern it looks great both ways, and that’s how it should be worn! I like to wear headbands or ear-warmers all winter because if my ears get cold I become miserable so I always try to avoid that… I think it would look cute with a fitted jacket or pea coat for date night. Or if you wanted a sportier look pair it with a vest, I love this one from J.Crew and some jeans and sneakers! I just love this ear-warmer and if you are looking for another awesome ear-warmer that is crocheted I have this awesome one from my Fall|Winter LookBook.
