The catch is, the person making the video did not say the directions for each row; they just flashed them up on the screen. I was able to get Gemini to extract the text for me, and most of it is just stockinette stitch with a garter stitch border. But then row 7 says, \u201cKnit 6, Cast off 18, Knit 5,\u201d and row 8 says, \u201cKnit 6, Cast on 18, Knit 6,\u201d. Then you continue to do the stockinette stitch for several rows. This might be wishful thinking, but does this make sense to any of you? Why would you do this random cast off and on again in the middle of the pattern? I have also included a link to the video at the bottom of this email in case any of you have enough vision to see what is going on.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Alternatively, do any of you have patterns for needle knitted headbands that you could share with me?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Happy knitting!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Sarah<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:5.0pt;margin-left:11.8pt'><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><a href="https://youtu.be/oOeq5UHUpUY?si=IX1BZ1pE2AMp47Qj">https://youtu.be/oOeq5UHUpUY?si=IX1BZ1pE2AMp47Qj</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></blockquote></div></div></body></html>
