I had so much fun designing this sweet little bird headband.
This pattern comes in sizes to fit a baby, toddler, or child. 
The band is knit in garter stitch which makes for a nice stretchy fabric that stays in place.
They are super fast to knit up and a GREAT solution for leftover sock yarn.

I chose Louet Gems Fingering weight yarn for the headband, but really any sock weight yarn would do.
