Weird Sister Wrist Band Pattern

Alright so here is an attempt at my first pattern. This was inspired by the fictional rock band The Weird Sisters in the Harry Potter series.

Materials:
Worsted Weight Yarn in Purple and Aqua (or whatever colours you'd like)
US 7 (4.5 mm) knitting needles

MC = Main Colour
CC = Contrasting Colour


 Instructions:
Cast on 36 stitches. (For a small size Cast on 34 or 32)
Work 3 rows in k2, p2 (MC)
Purl one row (MC)
Knit 6 stitches (5, 4) in MC, 24 stitches off the chart (MC and CC), and finish by knitting 6 (5, 4) stitches (MC).
Work the border stitches and the chart in stockinette stitches for 10 rows. (MC and CC)
Knit one row (MC)
Work 3 rows in k2, p2
Cast off
Sew up the seam

Also if you end up making it to big... like I did (this pattern was written smaller intentionally) you can do some extra decorating and embroidery to make it look more funky and like a rock star. It covers up having to fold over the wristband to make it tighter.
