Cordia's Bow Headband Pattern
For Miss Cordia's 3rd birthday I knit up this cute bow headband in her favorite colors. This project is great for scraps and little yarn leftovers. The duplicate stitch hearts add sweetness without letting intarsia make you insane. It's a tiny bow headband for a special little girl in your life! It should be as painless to knit as possible. Finished Measurements Length: 4 1/2". Width: 2".
