This headband is worked holding a strand of bulky weight yarn and a strand of a sequin thread. This results in incredible stitch definition with a shimmery glow. Worked in a unique cable that creates a stretchy fabric, allowing it to be worn by a wider range of head sizes. Pattern is written in one size. (see below) All repeats appear in bold text throughout pattern. The pattern is charted and also includes separate written instructions.
