Patterns: Cabled headband

These headband follow the same reversible cable pattern noted in the stitchionary post two weeks ago.
Using 4mm needles, cast on 40 stitches.
Rows 1 - 5 : K2, P2
Row 6: *K2, P2, place 4 stiches on cable needle (you can leave the holder in the back or pull it to the front, just be consistent), K2, P2, put the stitches from the cable needle back on your left needle, K2, P2,* repeat until you have 4 stitches left, K2, P2
I repeat the pattern 19 times, then knit a row 1, before casting off in K2, P2.

Stitchionary: Herringbone stitch

I learned this pattern from the purl bee. Their mini herringbone scarf is my favourite pattern of the moment!

Row 1: Slip 1 stitch from the left to the right needle. Knit the next stitch on the left hand. Then, pick up the 1st stitch (the one you slipped) from the right needle and carry it over the second stitch as though you were going to cast off, but before you pull it over completely, wind your yarn around your right needle (as though it was a regular knit stitch). Continue until the end of the row.

Row 2: Holding your needles in purl position, pick up two stitches and to purl them together. But before dropping the stitches off the left needle, knit back into the first stitch (the one closest to the end).
