Roses Are Red Headband PDF Pattern

This little headband is so fun and quick to knit up! It's a perfect way to use up all of those little extra balls of leftover sock yarn that we all have laying around.

I used Louet Gems Fingering Weight yarn for this sample and I really enjoyed how it worked up.

There is also a significant color range available, so you have many options for creating a unique, creative piece.

I've been knitting up headbands for my daughter for years now, its only recently that I decided to write up some patterns. They are such a fun, cute little accessory and my little one has always received many compliments when she wears them.
