The sunshine headband is a knitted hairband perfect for using up any leftover fingering weight scraps from your summer projects.

It is knit up seamlessly by working the first I-cord tie, increasing to produce the main headband fabric, before decreasing again to work the second i-cord tie.

This is a one size pattern but can easily be adjusted.
