PETAL HEADBAND

Based on the adorable and minimal Petal Necklace pattern this cold-weather accessory is a true example how a tiny bit of precious yarn can go in an effort to craft a warm, usable, luxurious, wonderful gift! Reminiscent of its cousin, ENTWINE, this headband achieves a cabled look while only knitting Stockinette and working modular knitting with negative space technique, allowing even a novice knitter a successful result!
