This double layer headband was designed as a teaching project in two-handed, stranded Fair Isle knitting. It could also be used for swatching your colorwork knitting in-the-round as you check gauge for a larger project. There are two versions: one for bulky weight yarn and one for worsted weight yarn.

NOTE: I have posted a tutorial on Two-Handed Stranded Colorwork on my blog. It may be helpful if you are just learning this technique.
