Rake up a pile of leaves and jump in with your new knit: FLX Headband. This cozy accessory is all about easy-to-wear warmth that doesn’t skimp on style.

FLX Cowl and Headband were designed for Laura’s 2025 N Club. The patterns will be released to all in October of 2026. Sign up for my newsletter if you want to hear about future clubs and when FLX releases.

I’ve chosen two stunning shades of American Ewe Fingering Tweed, inspired by fall in the Fingerlakes. This soft to the skin tweedy yarn snuggles your ears perfectly!

FLX’s textured fabric is created with strategic increases and decreases, that are undulated along the tube. The ends are knit flat and the long strip is grafted with a slick twist. Don’t worry, there is a video tutorial to help with that!
