Ali's Headband Pattern

I have designed my first (super simple) pattern. It's a starting point anyway.





MATERIALS:
Lion Brand Cotton-Ease, color Snow
(Or any comparable weight yarn.)

US 6 Straight needles
Cable needle
Yarn needle

(I personally don't see gauge being an issue on this project...)

DIRECTIONS:
Cast on 14 sts

Row 1: K1, P1, K1, P2, K4, P2, K1, P1, K1
Row 2: K1, P1, K1, K2, P4, K2, K1, P1, K1
Row 3: K1, P1, K1, P2, K4, P2, K1, P1, K1
Row 4: K1, P1, K1, K2, P4, K2, K1, P1, K1
Row 5: K1, P1, K1, P2, K4, P2, K1, P1, K1
Row 6: K1, P1, K1, K2, P4, K2, K1, P1, K1
Row 7: K1, P1, K1, P2, C4F, P2, K1, P1, K1

Repeat rows 1-7 sixteen times or until it fits your head. End with rows 1-6.

FINISHING:
BO and leave a length of yarn to sew together ends with yarn needle.

(If you don't want a slip-over-your-head headband, you could add a buttonhole toward the bottom and sew on a button.)

That's really pretty! I may sport one soon. How long did this take to knit?

Something like 2 hours. Very quick.
