A headband is my favourite solution on days when the wind wants to have its way with my hair and a hood won’t fit over a hat. I’ve put two versions side by side here: Helbepärg – crocheted with a textured pattern, and Helbevoog – a knitted, turban-style headband with a cable. Both are soft…
Do you know that feeling when the crochet hook has already developed opinions of its own and your fingers start whispering: “That’s enough now, Tiina…”?That is exactly how these two doilies made from cotton crochet thread came to be: one grand and large (about 70 cm), the other its sweet little sister (50 cm).
