That is one of the methods for an I chord.

Many years ago I encountered a jewelery maker at a local festival that had made ear rings, rings, and necklaces using very fine wire and it looked like knitting. I bought the ear rings, and unfortunately they got lost in one of my moves. I haven't seen him anywhere since.

When we were kids we learned how to knit on a 4 pegged spool loom. We called it French knitting and the result looked like a thin knitted tube. I wonder if they would have been stretchy enough to use as a headband?

You can do a buttonhole closure which is pretty easy to do at the end.
