   • Follow the same instructions as Row 2.
6. Repeat: Continue repeating Rows 1-4 until the headband measures approximately 20 inches or your desired length.
7. Bind Off: Once you reach the desired length, bind off all stitches. Make sure to bind off loosely to maintain the elasticity of the headband.
8. Seaming: Seam the cast-on edge to the bind-off edge using the mattress stitch. This will create a seamless finish and ensure the headband fits snugly.
9. Finishing: Weave in all ends using a yarn needle to hide any loose threads. This will give your headband a polished look.
