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.
