This has been an amazing pattern. Well written, easy to follow and so much fun to make. (Etsy Knitter)
Paula –
The pattern has errors. 56 rows for the adult headband gives only 10 inches before seaming. After seaming, this will give only half that. This is not possible to fit an adult head. As an experienced knitter, I can figure out what to do to make this pattern work. But I expect more from a pattern that I paid $5 for. Paula Vollmer (Etsy Knitter)
