HOHOHO HEADBAND

I made my first headband the other day then another and another.  It took me a little while to get them to fit well, but once I did they were perfect!

With Christmas just over a week away and time flying by and so many things to do, I didn't have time to make my usual "Christmas" hats.  So the HOHOHO Headband was born.

I hope you all love it and make a whole bunch of them.
