CARTER is a headband with integrated ear warmers.

It is knitted in the round in a 1x1 rib stitch. The ear warmers are shaped using a series of decreases and then extended to form ties.

It can be worn over your hair, layered over a cap, or worn underneath a bicycle or ski helmet.

It’s the perfect accessory for a cool, casual look while keeping your head and ears warm.

This project is also a great way to use up leftover yarn.
