Instructions for the Hat Band
Cast on 80 stitches using backwards loop cast on. Knit one row, then join in the round, careful not to twist. Knit 6 rows in the round or until piece measures one inch. Purl one round. Continue to knit in the round until the piece is approximately 2 inches. When folded at the purl row, the live end should be even with the cast on end for the next step. Options for joining the band: 1. Pick up stitches from cast on edge as you go, knitting two together with the live stitches until the entire band is folded and joined. 2. Pick up stitches using an extra needle (circular or DPN) and knit two together until the entire band is folded and joined. 3. Skip this, and sew it together later. Knit increase row: (K3, M1, K3, M1, K2, M1) x 10 repeats. 110 stitches total.
