The Story Behind Your Next Knit
The Starlight & Timber Headband evokes towering pine trunks with sparkling stars peeking between on a crisp, winter’s night. This is the perfect headband to stick in your coat pocket and bring along, just-in-case. The texture insulates while stretching for maximum comfort. Instructions for three sizes are included, insuring fit for virtually all adults. A single skein of Malabrigo Chunky will make the headband, with enough left over for the ribbing on a second! Or, use up a partial ball from your stash. Try other bulky (#5) yarns, or hold two strands of worsted weight yarn together to make your own custom color way! Quick and easy, make a Starlight & Timber Headband in an evening!
