Quidditch Headband Thoughts

So here's the thing. I crocheted all dc on my 76 chain loop. The headband looks nice...

...but I don't think this headband has the ideal elasticity. It fits my head nicely when I am stationary, but when I move the headband will slip down my face. I want to make sure the headband won't slip off a Quidditch player's head, especially when the player enters beast mode. So after finishing the above headband, I thought up this cool pattern design:

I will be crocheting it widthwise and will connect the ends once the piece is long enough. The fpdc and bpdc make a nice looking thick textured stripe in the middle. I can't wait to see what it will look like finished!
