Notes

Used US 8 on garter headband. Used US 7 on stockinette crown.

Headband followed pattern. Used kitchener stitch to sew together before starting crown.

Increased from 84 to 90 stitches in crown for size.

It was a fun construction. I would probably use a thinner yarn next time (use DK or sport) because the headband is a bit thick.
