Looking for a way to warm up, but hats aren’t your jam? Same, friend. This quick and cozy mosaic stitch headband is knit in two contrasting colors of worsted weight wool! Inspired by my visit to the lovely town of Interlaken in central Switzerland, this wooly band will keep your ears toasty warm without smushing your locks.

CHECK YOUR STASH! You can knit this with such a small amount of yarn (only about 30 grams - total), so shop your stash and let’s cast on!
