Snowberries Headband
Finding color on cold, damp and snowy mornings brightens the entire day. This headband features some of nature’s finger paints that I enjoyed on a recent visit to one of my favorite outdoor spaces. Hope you’ll use your imagination to create your day!
Branches and berries worked in duplicate stitch for light colored sample, but pattern maybe worked with stranded knitting.
