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.
