Fasten off. Cut off yarn and leave a 12” tail. Lay out your headband with the right side facing up, then interlock the ends so that they fit into one another, they kinda look like a C and a backwards C, or like one S. Use your yarn needle and whip stitch the ends together, while making sure to sew into each layer. When you reach the end, secure your yarn with a few knots and weave in your end.
Flip headband right side out and then it’s completely!
