Color Block Headband

To celebrate the release of my complete Color Block Collection you can receive this Color Block Headband pattern free when you purchase either one or both of my Color Block Shawl and/or Color Block Cowl patterns. Just put both or all three patterns into your cart and the headband will automatically be free at checkout.

This is the third piece in my Color Block Collection. Again I have used Hello Stella Basic Stella fingering weight yarn but unlike the other 2 pieces, it is made in 1 piece and then a garter stitch border is added to each side.

This headband is for everyone, from a beginner to an advanced knitter, to enjoy. This is definitely a stash buster. This is such a quick and fun headband to make.
