- The pattern is worked in multiples of 5 sts. To change the width add or remove multiples of 5 sts in your beginning chain.

- Ch 1 in the beginning of row doesn’t count as a stitch.
- Make sure to work sc in top of ch 2 in sc rows – it’s easy to miss it.

Round 5-20: repeat rows 3 and 4 till the headband measures about 23”. Cut the yarn and leave the tail for sewing, about 8”.
Finishing:
Lay the headband flat RS facing up. Fold the headband in half, place the ends one into another as if “hugging” each other, both ends form sort of a “C” shape. You will have 4 “layers” in your hands – sew them together stitching through each stitch in each layer. You won’t be able to see this seam – it will be hidden inside once you turn the headband right side out. Weave in the ends.
