Casco Contoured Wide Knit Headband

This headband has quickly become my go to headband shape and style to wear anytime I need to keep my hair out of my face, the contour of it curves perfectly to fit the shape of my head. It also doubles as a great earwarmer in the winter months. I have made this headband with many yarn thicknesses and it has worked every time so thinner yarns can be used for more of a spring/summer headband; a note is included in the pattern on how to adjust the pattern for other thicknesses of yarn.
