Knitting - cable headband

This was a gift for my sister-in-law and was fun to make. It was a stash yarn, so I don't remember what brand. It was a lovely soft merino (I'm guessing based on my yarn preferences). I used size 10 needles.

It was about 3 inches wide and I used a pattern from "Harmony Guides: Cables and Arans" (which is a great reference book and I highly recommend it). I cast on 22 stitches (3 seed stitch on each side with 16 stitch panel in the middle). The cable pattern was repeated 5 times before binding off.
