The Noelle Headband- Sizes Baby, Child and Adult
A quick and easy make that does not use a lot of yarn! The Noelle headband is perfect for chilly days and it’s great because your little one is still able to wear her pony tail and keep her ears warm. You should be able to make this in an evening or two. The Noelle headband is also great for gift giving. Wear the ties underneath the chin or at the back of the head. Make one for yourself so you can match with your little one. Enjoy!!!!
