Finish:

• Lay your headband flat. Bring the ends together so that they meet in the middle.
• Fold each end in half lengthwise and pinch them at the ends.
• Place the two folded ends together, sandwiching them together and making sure the stitches are aligned.
• Using the yarn tail and yarn needle, stitch the ends together, making sure to work through all four pieces of the fabric.
• Fasten off, weave all ends.
• Turn the headband inside out so that the knot is on the inside.
