Repeat Row 2* 52 times, or until the band fits around your head.
Fold with right sides together, sl st in the BLO of both sides to end.  

Cut yarn and sew in ends.

Cinch the band at the join to create 2 folds, stitch back and forth through the middle to secure the folds. (Don’t worry, this will be covered)
