Luxe is a warm and squishy ear-warming headband pattern featuring a fun waffle stitch texture and a trendy faux twist. The magic of this pattern is in how you seam the ends together. You’ll find a photo tutorial at the end of the instructions to show you how it’s done.
For this headband, I used just over half a ball of Lion Brand Heartland in the color Glacier Bay. This lovely, soft acrylic yarn comes in several heather and tweedy shades inspired by the natural beauty of the American landscape. I have a few different colors of this yarn in my stash and can’t wait to use them all.
