Statement head band in a seamless design.

Constuction
You cast on using Turkish cast-on. The headband is knitted flat with cables using half of the stitches from the cast on. The remaining stitches are held and used for grafting when closing the headband. The cable rows can be a bit tricky, especially at the beginning. Pull the cord out of the work to create a looser section, making it easier to work with.

Size guide
The cables can stretch a lot, making this a headband that fits all head shapes. If you are using yarn that results in fewer or more rows, try it on as you go and finish when you reach the desired length.
