This is how to make a pretty, simple headband in Seed Stitch.
Get a piece of yarn and wrap it around your head at the place where you want the headband to go. Then cut that piece of yarn to use as a measuring guide for making your headband.
Cast on 10 stitches, using worsted weight yarn and size 8 knitting needles.
Row 1: Knit 1, Purl 1 (repeat across row)
Row 2: Purl 1, Knit 1 (repeat across row)
Repeat these two rows until the headband stretches out to be as long as the piece you cut earlier. Then, knit about 4 more rows, so you'll have enough fabric to sew a seam. Bind off your knitting, then stitch the two ends together. Voila!

You would need circular needles and enough yarn to make the headband the right size.
Is this a head band just to keep the hair out of your friend's eyes? Or a headband to keep their ears warm?
If it is something to keep the ears warm, may I suggest the pattern out of the book called: Knit Hats!: 15 Cool Patterns to Keep You Warm. It's a reversable headband that requires double knitting to do. The book is straight forward about teaching you how to double knit.
If you want a simple headband, cast on roughly 90 sts and knit for about 25 rows. Then cast off.
You can adjust the # of stitches to custom tailor it to your friends head and the number of rows to cover the ears.

Wrong side??? I dunno -- maybe you could turn your headband over? Maybe you are looking at the wrong side? It sure would help if you would show us a pic. It really doesn't make sense... how can it be on the opposite side? Was this just the last crossing, or did you do ALL of them the "wrong" way? If this was just the last one, you will have to rip back a couple rows, and then do it the right way. If all of them are the same, then who cares which way they cross -- as long as they are all the same. There is the left-cross and the right-cross, and you just did the other one than in the pattern. No big deal. You need to remember whether you bring the slipped stitches to the front or to the back. The directions usually say something like "cable 3 back" which means that you slip 3 stitches to the cable needle, hold them in back, and then put them back on after the cross. Try to do them all the same way so they cross the same direction.

Cast on 16 stitches, and use 2 strands of yarn. Every row you knit the first 13 stitches and move the yarn to the back and then slip the remaining 3 stitches. That gives you something like an I-cord on each end.
Keep doing that until it's as long as you'd like it to be, then bind off and sew the ends together.
I've made dozens of those, including one for myself. I love it.
