Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 24 stitches onto your knitting needle. Make sure your stitches are not too tight to allow for easy knitting.
2. Row 1 (Wrong Side): Purl all stitches across the row. This establishes the base of your headband.
3. Row 2 (Right Side):
   • Knit 2 stitches (K2).
   • Begin the cable pattern:
     • *C4F (Cable 4 Front): Slip 2 stitches to a cable needle and hold in front of your work, knit the next 2 stitches from the left needle, then knit the 2 stitches from the cable needle.
     • Knit 4 stitches (K4).
     • Repeat from * until you have 2 stitches remaining, then K2.
4. Row 3: Purl all stitches across the row.
5. Row 4 (Right Side):
   • K2.
   • Begin the cable pattern:
     • *K4.

6. Repeat Rows 1-4: Continue repeating these four rows until your headband measures approximately 18 inches or your desired length.
7. Bind Off: Once you reach the desired length, bind off all stitches loosely to maintain elasticity.
8. Finish the Headband: Sew the cast-on edge and the bind-off edge together to form a loop. Make sure the seam is secure and neat.
9. Weave in Ends: Use a yarn needle to weave in any loose ends from your yarn to give your headband a polished finish.
