I love throwing my hair up into a messy bun and wrapping a headband around it to hide the frizzes and keep the fly aways out of my face. I had a bunch of adorable little mini balls of Scheepjes Stone Washed XL leftover from a kit that were just begging to become headbands! Though any heavy worsted weight yarn will work, this pattern is ideal for any yarn with very little stretch like cotton or linen.
