Arctic Shimmer Brioche Headband

By

From the December 2023 issue

This charming winter headband features a two-color brioche motif that is worked with a cozy bulky-weight MC yarn and a sparkly worsted-weight CC yarn. The suggested Hygge yarn makes the project super soft and warm to wear, and the Sparkle yarn is fun and glamorous, making the finished ear warmer a perfect accessory for any festive occasion. The headband begins with a basic long-tail cast-on and is worked flat in two-color brioche in a pretty stitch pattern (though plain two-color brioche ribbing could easily be substituted, if desired). The project concludes with a basic bind-off, then the cast-on and bind-off edges are sandwiched and sewn together to create the stylish twisted seam that can be worn at the front or back of the headband.

From The Color of the Year Collection

That moment as the sun kisses the horizon and the sky is illuminated in calming shades of pink, gray, ivory and a hint of peach is captured perfectly in this yarn.
Ethereal is the most fitting way to describe this poncho.The incredibly soft and lightweight fabric is knit from side to side, devoid of seams, to mar the incredible beauty of this yarn as it gracefully drapes over the person lucky enough to wear it. For a cold weather version, add the funnel neck, bottom hem rib and sleeves as presented. For a version suitable for those fireside chats at the beach, skip the extras and just go with the flow of the poncho itself. Written to allow you to make changes along the way, this poncho will surely become a wardrobe staple.
