Lisa McFetridge Cool Runnings Earband

The Cool Running Earband from Lisa McFetridge does dual duty, keeping ears snuggly and warm on its own, but an optional addition to the band will hold earbuds in place while out in the cold without compromising style. A wide band that tapers in the back to the join is knit flat in a soft, Aran weight yarn, then using Kitchener stitch to seam together, leaving no “lumpy” join. A few optional crocheted chain “ladders” on the inside hold earbuds in place on the head and off.
