“But [s]he that dares not grasp the thorn. Should never crave the rose.” Anne Bronte

Knitted in aran weight yarn, the Rose Thorn Headband is a useful and stylish accessory for the colder months, especially for those “messy bun” days. It’s slipped stitch patterning in particular, helps to create a really cosy fabric, that’s perfect for keeping your forehead and ears toasty warm.

The headband is partly named after Ann Bronte’s wonderful quotation above, which reminds us that we can’t have beautiful handknits without putting in a bit of (hopefully enjoyable) “work”!

Luckily, knitting the Rose Thorn Headband pattern is neither a chore nor “work”, as it’s a super quick knit, making it perfect for gift knitting!
