6. Repeat Rows 1-4: Continue repeating Rows 1 through 4 until the piece measures 18 inches or your desired length. This will create the beautiful textured pattern of the headband.
7. Bind Off: Once you have reached the desired length, bind off all stitches. To bind off, knit the first two stitches, then pass the first stitch over the second stitch and off the needle. Continue this process until all stitches are bound off.
8. Finishing: Sew the cast-on edge to the bind-off edge to form a continuous loop. Ensure the edges align properly for a neat finish.
9. Weave in Ends: Using a tapestry needle, weave in any loose ends to secure them and give your headband a polished look.
