I was inspired by this tutorial:
http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/crochet-earwarmer-or-headband
Instead of crocheting, I knitted one instead. I wanted it to have more stretch so it can stay on my head. This took me about 4 hours to complete one in one sitting. But I am very happy about the final product.
