This toasty headband starts with a provisional cast-on and a bit of ribbing. Stitches are then placed on 2 needles to form a tube and increases are worked for the desired width before working the stranded colorwork in the round. Once the colorwork is done, stitches are decreased and then put back on 1 needle for another bit of ribbing before joining with a 3-needle bind-off.

This is the third pattern in my “A Year of Colorwork” eBook and is not offered as a single pattern at this time. For $5 you can purchase the entire eBook which may contain up to 12 patterns! The price will go up with each pattern added, with the final price being determined by how many patterns actually get released. Right now there are 3. Next up - some stranded mitts (I think…)
