We dug into the eighties fashion (and slang!) archives to resurrect a bodacious wristband. Use it to wipe that grody sweat from your face while you work out so you don’t look hella gnarly. As if! This totally tubular design is literally that: a tube designed so simply you’ll be thinking, “Duh, I could totally knit one while I veg out,” so take a chill pill and motor through this wicked cool pattern.
