   2. Row 2 (Wrong Side): *K2, P2; repeat from * to end of the row.

4. Repeat Cable Pattern: Continue repeating Rows 7-10 until your piece measures 20 inches or your desired length.
5. Bind Off: Once you reach the desired length, bind off in pattern (K2, P2) to maintain the ribbing effect.
6. Finish the Headband: Sew the cast-on edge and the bind-off edge together to form a seamless headband. Make sure to align the stitches neatly for a clean finish.
