Winter Dusk Headband
Want to dip your toes into mosaic knitting? This is the pattern for you! This is a simple mosaic pattern easy enough for beginners and engaging enough for the seasoned mosaic knitter. As a knit-in-the-round, mobius headband, all the floats are hidden inside--and the floats are never more than one stitch long so tension won’t be an issue! The double thickness and three optional widths means it can be a cute little headband or a splendid ear warmer! Wear it by itself or as the perfect companion to the Silver Dusk cowl.
