Every morning at dawn my dog and I walk through the neighborhood. We greet each new day with a sense of renewed energy as the first rays of sunlight burst over the horizon. Sunburst is an ear warming headband knit in the round that captures my morning excursion through the use of stranded color work. It is very stretchy and will fit a variety of sizes.
