Spring into Summer Headband

Project skill level: Beginner

This pattern uses US and [UK] Terms.

In celebration of Springtime, I have created these light and airy headbands to add a pop of colour and sparkle as we head outside to enjoy some much-needed fresh air and sunshine. 

Headbands are such a great accessory because they can easily add something special to your outfit. 

Allow your creativity to run free with this quick & easy pattern. As shown, you can make solid-colour headbands, or you can go crazy with colour combinations to create your own unique finished project.

For the adult-sized headband, I used approximately 20 grams of yarn, which is around 72 yards [ 66 meters].
