Notes

I did not purchase the pattern. Just winged it from the photos.

Using 2 FlexiFlips needles.

CO 2 stitches for I-cord. Knitted I-cord to 14-inch length, then started garter stitch by increasing into the 2 stitches…
increasing 1 st each end of row, every other row until knitted piece reached a 5-inch width (from end of row to other end of row on the needles…
then knit straight in garter stitch for 10-inches. Total length of head piece: 17-inches.

Blocked it.

In CC yarns (Wonderfluff-Cobblestone shade + Crystal-Plum shade), knitted large and small leaves from Nicky Epstein’s 2009 Calendar/Journal, “Knitted & Crochet Flowers” pattern.

Blocked the leaves and then sewed them on with their tails over the ear portion of the headpiece for extra warmth.

Voila!
