Hat Band Cable

Rows 1, 3, 5 (RS):    (K1, P1) twice, K7, (P1, K1) twice, P1
Row 2, 4, 6, 8 (WS):  (P1, K1)twice, P7, (K1, P1) twice, K1

These eight rows make up the cabled hat band.
End with row eight. Do NOT bind off. Instead, leave the hat band on the needles and unravel the cast on edge. Place the unraveled edge onto another needle and join both ends by grafting (kitchener stitch).

With circular needle, pick up and knit 90 stitches evenly along one side of the band. Place a stitch marker at the beginning of the round.
Work in stockinette until the hat measurers 6 1/2" from the bottom of the band.
