RASPBERRY is a light headband made of sock yarn. I love to wear it when I go for a run in the colder season or just to keep my hair out of the way.

It is worked flat in mindless Garter stitch that is only interrupted by one single row on which you create the beautiful twist.

Although the given instructions are for an adult size headband, it is very easy to alter the length to your personal preference - just add a few more rows of Garter.

While the pattern is written to use the sock yarn, you can basically knit this headband with whatever yarn (weight) you like. More details on how to do that can be found it the pattern.
