The Down to Earth Headband features small cables separated by slipped stitches on a reverse stockinette background. The headband is knitted flat. The pattern is a 2-row repeat.

The first and last 3 stitches form an i-cord edging, that makes the edges look neat and prevents them from curling.

The cast-on and bind-off edges are seamed together forming a decorative twist in the middle. The seam is hidden by the twist and is not visible.
