These simple headbands are squishy, warm, and versatile. This stylish accessory is quick and easy to knit using just 50 grams of DK weight yarn for each. Two stitch patterns are included and either pattern can be made with or without the twist or the ruched cuff. Wear with the full twist in the front or back, a half twist in the front and back, with the cuff center stage, off to the side, or hidden in the back for full forehead warmth. Whichever way you wear your headband, it will tame your wild locks and keep your ears warm at the same time. Knit several and keep one in the pocket of every fall jacket and you’ll always be prepared when the wind picks up!
