DESCRIPTION
Pathfinder is a lined headband constructed by sewing two individually knitted layers together. The thick, outer layer is knit in the round with stranded colourwork, and the thinner, inner layer is knit in the round with 1x1 rib, resulting in a rustic-looking headband that’s plush on the inside and soft against the skin. This pattern uses small amounts of several colours, and is great for using up leftover yarn from other projects.

SIZING
Headband circumference: S (43 cm) / M (54 cm) / L (65 cm). The listed sizes note the outer circumference of the headband, which has a maximum of about 10% of negative ease. For a regular fit, choose the size with a circumference 2 to 6 cm smaller than the wearer’s head.
