Hello friends, I’d like to introduce you to my running headband. This is the Kira Headband and it’s really cozy. Like, really cozy. It’s been doing a great job keeping the tips of my ears warm as my husband and I try to get back into shape in the early Spring mornings around here. I don’t want to brag, but I think it’s doing such a good job that I’m running a bit faster 😉
With the exception of the running faster thing, this headband is doing a great job and does keep my ears warm. I modeled it after the Kira Beanie from February. I loved the bobbles of that design but I wanted to make it easy to wear when I was running (you can get really sweaty running) and thus the Kira Headband was born.
It’s a really easy pattern and I bet you could make it with some worsted weight yarn. I used what I had on hand, which also happened to be some ridiculously soft yarn, but you can probably use what you want. Just check your gauge, you might need to adjust your hook a bit to make it still fit right.
I do hope you like this pattern. It’s so easy to make and you can wip up a few in one evening.
