The model is knitted in the round with two solid yarns, but can be knit with one solid and one multicolored yarns also. Please note that a headband should be a little tight so it will stay in the correct position and knitted garments tends to expand a little. To change the circumference you can change your knitting tension/gauge. For example: If the gauge is 28 sts, the circumference will be 43 cm.
