Doe Ears Headband Knitting Pattern Packs Fun Techniques into a Small Project

If you’ve never tried two-color brioche, or shaping in brioche, the Doe Ears Headband by Lavanya Patricella is a great skill building project that doesn’t take a lot of time, or a lot of yarn.

This would be a great go-to gift for anyone on your list, and you can use little bits of your stash as you go. It can be worked in DK or worsted weight yarns and only uses 45 to 55 yards of each color.

Because brioche is so squishy and stretchy, the same design will fit a variety of heads, and it works as a headband in the warmer months and an earwarmer when it cooler.

You can grab the pattern on Etsy for $7.
