The Katrin Headband is inspired by one of the many traditional Faroese pattern, perfect for autumn and winter use. The headband is knitted in the round with the diamond pattern on the outside and a single color on the inside. Keep in mind that the headband may become looser with use when choosing your size. The headband in the picture is knitted in size 3 (the model’s head measures 56 cm) in Jawoll by Lang Yarns in the colors 83.0234 and 83.0025.
