If winter’s approaching and you haven’t had a chance to make yourself some new winter head gear, here’s a FREE quick and easy headband pattern to get you going.
It’s also the perfect project for holiday gifts as it makes up quick enough to be done before black Friday deals take over your free time. I used a skein of 6 super bulky Wool-Ease by Lion Brand. I’ve included three size options that should have all your bases covered.
