Headbands are a great, small project for learning a new technique. This textured stitch pattern takes a minute to learn, but a lifetime to enjoy. I love to accessorize with headbands the way I accessorize with jewelry: a pop of complementary color to your outfit. Adding beads to the self ties adds weight that helps keep the ties in place.
