PATTERN NOTES
This headband is knit flat, beginning with one end, and working to the other. The headband is split at the midpoint and the two ‘sides’ are worked separately for a specific length, then a cross is made in the middle, and it is joined again and worked in one piece to the end. Seam the ends together using mattress stitch, or your preferred method for seaming.

These mittens are worked in the round from the bottom up.
