Adding the headband

I got to the point where the cap piece was just a bit above my eyebrows when I put it on my head, so I figured that it was time to add the headband piece.  So I simply started on one end and started connecting it.

 

When I made the headband I thought it was going to be way too big, when I put it around my head, stretched out, it was far to long.  But when I added it to the cap piece I found that the headband was not long enough. 
Obviously something went a bit wrong.  I think I put too many expansion pieces in the cap piece along the way, which made it bigger than necessary.
When I put the finished cap piece on my head, it fits really well, but it is a bit loose around the head.  I thought that I could try to take a wedge out of it and try to make it tighter around the head.  And I might do that down the road, but I am going to leave it for now.  And if I think it needs to be adjusted when it is finished, I will do it at that point. 

Here is a picture of the finished cap piece including the head band.  It is 12 inches across.
