A winter headband is such a good thing. It keeps your ears warm without causing quite as much odd hair as a hat causes. If the day warms up a bit, slide the headband down around your neck as a narrow cowl.

Make one to give and make one to keep. This headband takes just a few hours and only half a skein of fun, colorful, soft, super bulky yarn from MadelineTosh.

The ruffled edge is part of the knitting and both easy and decorative.

The finished band looks like mafalde, a pasta shape with ruffled edges.
