Rysca is a free headband pattern that is full of texture and is super easy to make. Once you make one of these headbands, all of your friends and family members will be begging for one of their own, it is that stylish.
I chose to crochet this headband with Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice in Grey Marble because I love the look of the little specks of fiber mixed into it. The yarn itself is nice and soft and is very enjoyable to work with. It also has a nice amount of give to it, so the headband is quite stretchy.
You’ll need less than one skein of this yarn to complete the project.
