Thank you.
You’re welcome, I hope you enjoy it!
I must be missing something, I’ve read through the pattern several times and cannot understand why we have four layers to sew through when it seems like it should just be two. I expect it may have something to do with “folding those ends in half”, that is very heavy yarn to fold in half and sew through. Usually with headbands I use a provisional cast on and do a three needle bind off to join the ends, but it does not seem that will work here.
Hi Lisa,
There are four layers because yes the ends are folded together to create the cinched look. But you can also use your way with the three needle bind off if you prefer!
