Hawthorne Headband Test

The bond these two have is beyond precious! I'm so glad that we got some photos for them to keep! Mommy take that picture with your little one!!!

Jazzy from https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/sources/jzkc has to be one of my favorite designers to test for! Her patterns are so fun! Her patterns have helped me to really practice my cable work.

I was terrified of cables for so long. I am thankful that this has become one of my most cherished knitting techniques. Cables add so much texture to a design. And, I adore the throwback to a more simple and traditional time in history.

This mommy/daughter duo were the perfect models for Jazzy's newest headband pattern! The Hawthorne Headband is just BEAUTIFUL!

Discount code: SashaSofia will save you a $1 on the price so be sure to take advantage of that.

Some things that I love about this test knit:

1. The headband is such a quick knit. Once you get through the first few rows of the design...it is easy to keep going without having to check back every few minutes. I call that a mindless knit. Great for your next Netflix marathon.

2. It doesn't take a bunch of yarn. So it is perfect for stash busting. Especially, with Christmas coming up. What a great way to work through all your unused yarns!!!

3. The final piece looks intricate and complicated. It has a gorgeous vintage vibe to it. I love patterns that look like they took a lot of time and effort. Hahaha

Yarn: I used Yarn Bee's Rustic Romantic in the Red Roads colorway. ABSOLUTE gorgeous fiber to work with. I love the bits of tweed that are infused through each strand. Gives this quality acrylic more depth and texture! If you know me...I'm all about textured fibers and finished projects. I'm always drawn to earthy tones and this gorgeous shade of burnt red did not disappoint.

Get cracking on your Christmas knits with the lovely HAWTHORNE!
