Joining

Lay your squares out into the pattern that you’d like and join them together. I like using a nice whip stitch join and sew my squares together, but there are a myriad of ways to join them together! 

Edging

Using one of your colors, slip stitch into one side of the headband. Sc around the edge and then BO. Do this to the other side as well! BO and weave in your ends!
