Avoiding the dreaded cold-weather hat hair? Try sporting a chunky knit headband. They are a chic alternative to the original stocking hat in the winter.

While these cold temperatures make it increasingly hard to look cute and stay warm, wearing one of these knit headbands can do both.

They are offered in different styles whether you are going for a sporty or even a more fashionable look.

These headbands come in various colors, sizes and materials perfect for all different personalities — some even have knitted rosettes attached! These chic headbands are perfect for wearing hair up or down. Use a narrow band for hair with bangs to allow them to peek through.

But for longer hairstyles, try going for a wider band to allow the rest of your hair to frame your face. Knitted headbands can be found at various places, all at affordable prices.

The crafty website Etsy offers a range of different colors and styles, all from different knitting artisans. These headbands are also available at kiosk locations in numerous malls.

Whether it is dressing up a simple outfit or simply attempting to stay warm, these knitted headbands are a standout head warmer for this winter season.
