Tips and finishing notes:

• If you need a different width, repeat the ribbed row until you reach the desired height. For a different head circumference, cast on a multiple of 4 stitches to preserve the k2/p2 rib pattern.
• Join the seam with an invisible mattress stitch or your preferred seaming method for a neat finish.
• Lightly block the band if desired to even out stitches and improve drape.
• Try variations such as adding a small bow, switch to a different weight yarn and appropriate needles, or make a wider band for extra warmth.
