Yesterday morning we had our first big snow storm up here in Calgary, which is early even for Canadian standards! But I made the most of our situation and got my sweet husband (who happened to be snowed in) to take some photos of me wearing my new headband, which I plan to wear all winter long to keep my ears toasty warm! Of course, I wrote up this cable knit headband pattern to share with all of you on this page too!
I kid you not, this headband is so soft and cozy that my daughter wears the one I made for her in the house! I give credit to the yarn – Knitpicks Biggo bulky weight yarn which has to be the softest bulky weight yarn I have found to date! The yarn is made from super wash merino and nylon, which makes it ideal for chunky winter accessories.
