NOTE:

The remaining rows form the band that goes around the head and will be attached to the hair band. Please try this on before cutting the yarn. Hair bands do not come in standard sizes or elasticity. So you may need to adjust the number of stitches to create the perfect fit. Err on the tighter side to account for stretching of both the band and the yarn.
