Candy Stripe Headband

The Candy Stripe Headband is really popular as it’s ideal for jogging when the weather is cold and the shaping part at the back keeps the project interesting.

The pattern is written for two colours, and each headband weighs approximately 30g.  Use up spare yarn fragments, or get three headbands from two 50g balls of yarn in 2 colours.
