Brioche Basics Headbands

Designed as a starter brioche project, Brioche Basics Headbands are quick knits to get you comfortable with 2-color brioche stitches with the almost instant gratification of a finished object! Instructions are included for 3 styles of headband using a combination of brioche knit, brioche purl, brioche increase and brioche decrease stitches. Both sides of the fabric look equally good, so each one knit makes 2 headbands; a great way to use small amounts of precious handspun yarn, or your favorite pair of mini skeins!
