What you need to know

Use your DK stash to knit Helen Ardley's quick intarsia accessory

Using pretty pink yarn and glamorous pearl-style seed beads, this stylish hair accessory is ideal for keeping out the chills. Also, because the project involves decorating the headband with a row of heart motifs, it's a great opportunity to get lots of practice at intarsia. There are just three motifs at the centre front of this headband, so you don't need to strand the yarn all the way around and risk compromising the stretch, just use a separate ball for each heart motif. The beads are simply sewn on at the end. Download this easy-to-follow knitting pattern today.
