Nitta Headband

Remember how sometimes you walk outside and feel like your ears are about to fall off because of the cold? Sometimes you don’t even feel them! Well this stylish ear warmer is the answer for you

The headband is started with FSC and joined to the first stitch to make a ring. The band is then made in rounds, joined to the first stitch of the same row with a slip stitch. The stitches used include sc, dc, ch, and fpdc. 

The band measures 4.5”, but it can be made as wide as desired. The front of the band is folded, sewn together, and finished off with the placement of a button. With this band, the button used is 1” wide. You can use any size of a button or wear it without a button if you desire.
