Linnaea is an oversized bow headband for a baby or toddler made with super soft yarn. The band is worked in stockinette stitch in the round and shaped with short rows, allowing the edges to curl while creating a comfortable fit. The bow is worked separately in two rectangles and attached to the band. It’s the perfect accessory for family photo shoots and everyday cuteness alike!
