The Ancient Sculpture Headband features a braided cable in the middle flanked by two eyelet mock cables on a reverse stockinette background. The headband is knit flat. The pattern is a 12-row repeat.

The first and last 2 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.
