HEADBAND

The pattern is in US terms.

The pattern:

Start with any amount of chains required to achieve the circumference needed.

For an adult woman size, with measurements and yarn/hook combination (above), chain 65 + 1.

1st row: slip stitch in second chain from the hook, ss in every st to the end, ch1 and turn; (65 slip stitches) - forming a 'V'.

2nd row: In back loop of all the stitches across this row, hdcss; ch1 and turn.

Continue with row 2 until your work measures 2cm, 20-21".

Leaving a long tail to sew the ends together, cut the yarn.

folding the knot

With the wrong side of your piece facing you, fold both ends in half.
Think of the one end in your left hand as a "C" and a flipped "C" in your right.
Insert the flipped "C" into the "C", to form a layer.
Layer = bottom "C", bottom flipped "C", top "C" and then top flipped "C".
Sew through all the layers and secure your end.
Weave in remaining ends.
