Born from a need to keep ears warm whilst my hair was thrown up in a messy bun, the School Run headband if perfect for keeping cosy when you’re running late! Available in sizes for the whole family you can also twin with your little one!

Fit  Designed with 0-5cm / 0-2” of negative ease. Choose a size that is 0-5cm / 0-2” smaller than the actual head circumference.  The headband will grow with washing and wear.

Construction  Knit flat back and forth and seamed together afterwards. The picot edge is worked within the headband and is formed when the flat piece is folded and sewn together. Measurements are in cm / in.

Choosing Yarn  Drops SW Merino is a great choice for this headband as it is soft and machine washable. If you would prefer a non-superwash, Sandnes Double Sunday is a great alternative. If you are making matching School Run Mittens (link) use Filcolana Arwetta or Lang Jawoll or 4ply/fingering yarn of your choice held double. Holding yarn double will also make your headband warmer!
