Three lace headbands in 8ply for sizes 2 years to adult - Helena

The pattern includes three different lace stitches. These headbands are quick to knit and great for using up left over yarn. They also make a fantastic project for someone who is new to lace knitting. It’s a chance to practice working yarn forwards, yarn around needle, slipping stitches and working two together, without worrying about shaping or having a lot of stitches in each row.
