Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 96 stitches using the long-tail cast-on method. Ensure that your stitches are not twisted after joining in the round. Place a stitch marker to indicate the beginning of the round.
2. Ribbing (Rounds 1-6):
   • Round 1: *K2, P2* repeat from * to * around.
   • Round 2: *K2, P2* repeat from * to * around.
   • Round 3: *K2, P2* repeat from * to * around.
   • Round 4: *K2, P2* repeat from * to * around.
   • Round 5: *K2, P2* repeat from * to * around.

4. Continue the Texture Pattern: Repeat Rounds 7 and 8 until the piece measures 8 inches from the cast-on edge. Use a measuring tape to ensure accuracy.
