Description

 

It's so easy to get caught up in being busy that we don't give ourselves time to slow down, relax and just enjoy the beauty of nature.  

 

Knitted in an interesting rib of waves they represent the ups and downs of life.  Worked with random seeds of purl stitches moving into the tranquil mountain ridges then worked with random seeds of purl stitches before heading back into the interesting rib tofinish the headband.  Knit your headband up in any colour you find calming and tranquil or a solid colour of your choice.

 

This tranquility headband is perfect for anyone who knows how to knit and purl, the perfect project for sitting down and having some tranquil time for yourself or sitting around with knitting friends.
