The Loon Headband is an ode to my favourite bird - the loon. It is a great way to use up extra yarn and keep your head warm through shifting seasons.

Construction: The headband is worked entirely in the round. First, you’ll knit the top section, followed by the loon mural, and then the bottom section. After finishing the knitting, block the piece and seam the top and bottom edges together using mattress stitch.
