The pattern for Aletta is for both DK and Fingering yarn.

Aletta Headband is a fully reversible double sided headband with differing Fair Isle colorwork motifs on each side. It is worked seamlessly in the round, with the edges being formed in Latvian braids. The braids form a natural fold line and look pretty from both sides. The ends of the knitting are then grafted together with Kitchener stitch, so there is no seam.
