NOTES

  • Project is worked in the round on circular needles.
  • Smaller needles are used for the 9 am play.
  • If you want to be sure you have a safety net as you knit, adding a lifeline to your project every so often will be helpful. Just to make sure you have a point to rip back to if something goes wrong. (video help)

VIDEO TUTORIAL FOR 9 AM KNITTING PLAY

9 AM KNITTING PLAY ????

With smaller 16” circular needles and color A (this should be one of the darker colors), use the long tail cast-on method to cast on 98 sts.

Be sure none of the stitches are twisted, then PM on first st to mark beginning of round. 

Continue with the rest of the pattern in the round.

Round 1: Knit around.  

Round 2: * K1-tbl, p1; repeat from * around. 

Repeat last round of twisted ribbing 8 more times.

Optional: Latvian Braid would look really nice here before the Body. 

Next Play @ 11am!
