   • Knit 12 stitches (K12).

5. Row 4: Repeat Row 2.
6. Repeat Rows 1-4: Continue repeating Rows 1 through 4 until the piece measures approximately 20 inches in length, ensuring you end with Row 4.
7. Bind Off: Once your piece is the desired length, bind off all stitches. To bind off, knit the first two stitches, then use the left needle to lift the first stitch over the second stitch and off the needle. Continue this process until all stitches are bound off.
8. Finishing: Use a tapestry needle to sew the cast-on edge to the bind-off edge, forming a loop. Make sure to align the edges neatly for a seamless finish.
9. Weave in Ends: Finally, weave in all loose ends using the tapestry needle to ensure a tidy appearance.
