This cabled angora-blend headband
will keep your ears toasty for a day on the slopes
or an evening of snowman-building in the back yard.
To ensure a snug fit, measure the
circumference of the head and subtract 3-5".
This will be your targeted finished size,
When in doubt, knit a smaller size,
as the headband will stretch with wear.
