Warm and quick to knit, FELSENMEER is sure to stand out on your adventures. This cozy textured headband was inspired by the alpine rock fields in the mountains of British Columbia. It is easily adjustable in length to fit any head size.

Need a quick project, or want to use up some leftover yarn from another project? FELSENMEER knits up fast, and the samples were knit up with leftovers from the skeins used to create TALUS! This headband features a flared edge with the buttons and garter rows.
