HEAD-BAND – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
The piece is worked in the round, in a tube, with double pointed needles. The ends are sewn together in such a way as to create a cable mid-front.

HEAD-BAND:
Cast on 42-48-54 stitches with double pointed needles size 4 mm and DROPS Merino Extra Fine. Work pattern in the round according to diagram A.1 (= 7-8-9 repeats of 6 stitches). Work until the piece measures approx. 49-51-53 cm – adjust so you have worked at least 2 rounds after the previous row of holes. Cast off with knit.

ASSEMBLY:
The piece is now a tube with open ends. Lay the tube flat – make sure it is not twisted. Sew the ends together on each side, sewing in the outermost loop of the outermost stitch so the seams are flat - see the broken line in diagram A.2.
The piece is now a rectangle, fold it double, lengthwise – see diagram A.3.
Now the ends of the long sides are placed alternately on top of each other, without twisting the piece - see diagram A.4. The ends are therefore also alternately on top of each other, edge to edge - see diagram A.5.
Sew through all the layers as follows:
Sew along the broken line in diagram A.6 (over the ends); sew with grafting stitches, 1 stitch in each stitch – it is important you sew through all the layers so the seam is invisible when the piece is turned inside-out.
Cut and fasten the strand. Turn the piece inside out so the seam is on the inside.
