A simple headband has been on my to-knit list for quite a few years, but somehow I never found the right idea. But last December I finally figured out the perfect plan and very soon my Snowy Headband was born, featuring all my favorite things: garter stitch, i-cord and a little twist.
The Snowy Headband can be knitted to almost any gauge. I’ve written it for 3 different yarn weights (or gauges) and 3 different head circumferences.
