Gale Headband - Digital Knitting Pattern
One of the coolest things I have gotten to do to promote my book this year, has been the opportunity to travel around to local yarn stores and connect knitters in person. Knitting together and chatting is my absolute favorite part.
It was at one of these visits that the idea for this headband was born! Rachel of Zeezee Textiles was buying yarn to make my Squall Slippers from the book and she mentioned what a great headband the cuff would make. It only seemed right I used some of Rachel’s gorgeous yarn to knit this headband. I love the way it turned out and it will always remind me of the amazing connections I have made on this tour.
Thank you so much for your support of my patterns. Please use the tag #galeheadband and #larkspurknits to share with me on instagram! Seeing your yarn choices and watching your progress is the greatest joy. Happy knitting!
