MAKING UP
Turn the Back Halves of the Headband inwards and join the seam together using mattress stitch or overstitch. Following any yarn care instructions on the ball band, block gently to measurements so that the back seam lies at the middle inside and the colourwork design sits neatly on the outside. Using mattress stitch, sew the cast-on and cast-off edges of Knot Band together. Wrap Knot Band around the Headband to cover the end-of-round jog and join row-ends together to secure in place.
