“This design reminds me of summers spent in the Berkshires—throwing one’s hair into a headband and hiking or boating with the smell of patchouli and incense in the air,” says the designer of her Berkshires Band. The headband closes with two buttons in the back; the lace pattern is a simple six-row repeat.
