Materials Needed

• Yarn: 100g of worsted weight yarn (choose a rich, deep forest green for a lush look)
• Knitting Needles: US 8 (5mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 24 stitches onto your knitting needle. Ensure your stitches are not too tight, as this will affect the elasticity of the headband.
2. Ribbing (Rows 1-4):
   • Row 1: *K2, P2* across the row.
   • Row 2: Repeat Row 1.
   • Row 3: Repeat Row 1.
   • Row 4: Repeat Row 1.
3. Cable Row (Row 5):
   • K2, P2.
   • C4F: Slip 2 stitches to a cable needle and hold in front, knit 2 from the left needle, then knit the 2 stitches from the cable needle.
   • P2, K4, P2.
   • C4B: Slip 2 stitches to a cable needle and hold in back, knit 2 from the left needle, then knit the 2 stitches from the cable needle.
   • P2, K2.
4. Ribbing (Rows 6-10):
   • Row 6: *K2, P2* across the row.
   • Row 7: Repeat Row 6.
   • Row 8: Repeat Row 6.
   • Row 9: Repeat Row 6.
   • Row 10: Repeat Row 6.
5. Repeat: Continue to repeat Rows 5-10 until the headband measures approximately 20 inches or your desired length.
6. Bind Off: Once you reach the desired length, bind off all stitches in pattern. This will maintain the ribbed look of your headband.
7. Seaming: Use the mattress stitch to seam the cast-on edge to the bind-off edge. This creates a seamless finish. Make sure to align the stitches carefully for a neat appearance.
8. Finishing Touches: Weave in all loose ends using a tapestry needle, ensuring that they are securely tucked away to prevent unraveling.
