Pattern Description:

This design started as an improvised project and quick knit for a Queen's Day headband (Koninginnedag in the Netherlands). I didn't have anything orange to wear and so I quickly picked out some orange yarn and knit this up. The Amaranth Headband, in its published
form, is a more refined version that fits most head sizes, and is long enough to be tied at the ends to secure it.
