Yarmouth (Maine) Historical Society is pleased to offer knitters the chance to knit some Yarmouth history this winter. We have reproduced patterns for two original winter accessories, an ear-warming headband and a Fair Isle watch cap, that were crafted for North Yarmouth Academy students by a local knitter during the 1950s and later.

This pattern is for headband-style ear warmers that tie under the chin. Strands of contrast color are woven through eyelets to create stripes. Several strands braided together form the ties.
