Design
The Snow Fern Headband is worked in the round with worsted weight yarn. Simple cables slowly taper outwards and inwards, creating fern-like shapes. A longtail tubular cast-on and sewn bind-off are utilized, allowing this headband to fit a wider range of head sizes. Written in 5 sizes: Baby, (Toddler), Child, (Adult S/M), & Adult L/XL. See the finished measurements below. The headband is meant to be worn with between 1”/2.5 cm and 5”/13 cm of negative ease. The pattern is charted and also includes separate, row-for-row written instructions.
