It's That Time of Year
Every year I get a few requests for these earwarmers/headbands. They work up quickly, they're comfortable to wear, and they're durable.
I always use Patons Soy Wool Stripes. It's discontinued now, but eBay still has plenty.
I have a few of these I've managed to keep for myself over the years. The pattern is mostly just in my head as I've played with the number of stitches and decreases quite a bit, but the original can still be found on Knitty.
I think I have a few extras stashed away somewhere as well. You never know when you'll need a last minute gift.
