Woven Headband - Keeping Ears Warm!

So I have finally finished my daughter's requested ear warmers! Our last winter was extremely cold and we set a record 10+ missed school days. During that time my middle daughter requested some ear warmers.  I came across this pattern on ravelry.com (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/woven-headband)  that she approved. Even though it's July AND we have encountered a typical Michigan colder-than-usual summer I did manage to finish the project. 


I love this pattern. Although the constant cables were a bit trying at times it is tightly enough woven to prove warm but lets enough air flow that I think her ears won't get too hot.  I think this type of basket weave pattern would also prove suitable for a very warm shawl.  

If you have some experience with cables or would like to get some great experience with them I highly recommend this pattern. I also recommend ravelry.com as a great resource for finding free patterns for your knitting or crocheting needs. 

Creatively speaking,
