Virginia Headband

Virginia Headband is a beautiful and feminine, yet nice and warm headband, which is made up from two identical knitted layers.

It is cast on with Judy's Magic Cast-On, worked in broken rib in rounds and finished off with the prettiest crocheted scalloped edge at the top and bottom.

Virginia Headband can be worked in one color, but it is also well suited to being worked in different colored scrap yarn. The change of colors creates a lovely effect together with the broken rib.
