This Headband was created to match the knit club’s Festive Fall Mittens. This project uses simple increases and decreases to create the lovely fall design. You will have stitch counts change from row to row which allows you time to trust your knitting skills. Wet blocking will help your design bloom and smooth out. Your instructions are both written and charted for your convenience. I’ve also included stitch counts to help keep you on track. Happy knitting!
