Free Pattern: Button Up Headband

We’ve all purchased yarn that we LOVE, just because it is wonderful. I was shopping at a local dime store and found Red Heart Super Tweed. I picked up a couple of skeins, Smokey and Pinkberry. The other night I needed a quick and easy project to work on while in the car. This headwrap was born.
