Knitting Pattern--Sunburst Headband

Every morning at dawn my dog and I walk through the neighborhood. We greet each new day with a sense of renewed energy as the first rays of sunlight burst over the horizon. Sunburst is an ear-warming headband knit in the round that captures my morning excursion through the use of stranded colorwork. It is very stretchy and will fit a variety of sizes.
