DESCRIPTION

The Marsali headband was designed as a tribute to my Norwegian heritage. I used traditional Norwegian colorwork and added a fun modern twist to create a cozy winter accessory perfect for those messy bun hair days! This headband is knit as a seamless tube that starts with a provisional cast on and is finished with the Kitchener stitch. A colorwork chart is used to create the design and only 2 colors are used per row.
