The In the Thicket Headband features a 16-stitch staghorn cable in the middle flanked by two small cables on a reverse stockinette background.

The pattern is a 6-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 the cast-on and bind-off edges are seamed together forming a decorative twist in the middle. The seam is hidden by the twist and is not visible.
