Continue working Row 1 until the headband measures 46-47 cm. Cast off all stitches. Trim the yarn, leaving a 30-40 cm tail. Thread the yarn needle and sew the two ends of the headband together: fold the headband so that the tail is coming from the back end. Insert the needle through the back loop of the front piece and then through the front loop of the back piece. Repeat this process until you reach the end. Cut the yarn and weave in the ends.
