Radical headband

My husband is a freestyle mogul skiier, and freestylers tend to be a little stuck in the late 80s. Clearly, this meant that he needed some radical style to compete in the annual Bust n Burn freestyle competition.

I already knitted him a pair of Knucks in fluorescent green and pink yarn, with BUST and BURN embroidered on the fingers. Clearly, what was needed to complete this ensemble (and bring him home the giant gold winner's trophy) was a matching headband.
