Ilse headband is worked in the round, in one piece.
The headband consists of three layers. The project starts with the middle layer (stockinette stitch, wool yarn only), followed by the outer layer (stockinette stitch, both yarns held together).
The stitches are then worked together with the cast-on edge.
The inner layer is worked in ribbing and sewn to the inside of the headband (the seam is not visible from the RS).
