I designed this headband to run in when it’s a bit too warm for a hat, but I still need my ears covering. It’s knitted using reversible double knitting and 4ply wool-alpaca. I’ve knitted it in my running club colours - we have a black vest with red stripes for off-road and white with red for road races. I like how the red flash on one side of the headband becomes a finishing tape on the other.
It uses 2 mini skeins plus about 6metres of contrast colour.
