It’s a simple project suitable even for beginners. In just about an hour you can make a beautiful chunky headband. I love it most for the dense textured pattern, which leaves no chance to the wind and cold. It is definitely my favourite companion on bike trips throughout the year.

It’s a perfect project to use up yarn leftovers in your stash. Take 2 balls of about 35 g of your leftover yarn and you will have an accessory that goes with 2 other knitted garments. Isn’t it lovely?!
