NOTE: You will need enough length to overlap for your button closure once the button is attached. Depending on the size of your button this will vary. Work your piece until the ends meet comfortably around your head and then complete piece for the button hole.

If you want a wider headband make your beginning Ch longer, but make sure you have an odd number of Sts so that the button hole is centered at the end.

Gauge: 4 Sts & 4 Rows in 1” in headband.
