Due to a smaller needle size making the headband a lot shorter than needed (and this being for an adult), I repeated the pattern 23 times instead of 20. I would have repeated it a few more times, but I was afraid of running out of yarn. So I made up for it by knitting a much longer garter stitch section at the end, which turned out just fine after grafting the ends together. I’ve never blocked any of my projects, but I rolled up a towel and pinned it around wet, and sadly the edges still tend to curl under if I don’t straighten them out when I put it on.
