Hoshiko Headband

**Get 25% Off the 'Hoshiko' Knitting Pattern and E-Book Until the End of April 2013!** Discover the art of knitting with our 'Hoshiko' pattern—perfectly crafted for both hats and headbands! Inspired by the beautiful origami star-shaped boxes I cherished as a child, this unique design is aptly named 'Hoshiko,' which translates to 'starchild' in Japanese. This delightful knitting project is worked in the round from the bottom up, allowing you to enjoy the process until completing the stunning colorwork panel. Afterward, you can choose to create either a second garter stitch edging for the headband or finish the top of the hat—giving you versatility and style in one pattern! The 'Hoshiko' pattern is available not only as a standalone item but also as part of an e-book that includes a charming matching girl's top, providing you with an entire outfit to knit for the little ones. **Sizes Available:** - **2 years** (6 years) - Designed to fit head sizes of 45 cm (17.75 in) and 50 cm (19.75 in). - The finished circumference, including negative ease, measures 41 cm (16.25 in) for the smaller size and 46.5 cm (18.5 in) for the larger size. **Materials Needed:** To bring the 'Hoshiko' pattern to life, you'll need DK weight yarn in two beautiful colors.
