Warm-up Headband is a cozy ribbed headband with sporty stripes. You can choose a thinner version with 3 sections of stripes or a wider version with 4 sections of stripes. The headband is designed to have approx. 3 - 8 % of negative ease to it based on the size. If you prefer tighter fit or looser fit, choose smaller or bigger size based on actual circumference of finished headband. Ribbed pattern gives the headband stretchiness even for smaller negative ease.
