Knit Along

What you'll need:

- 16" circular needle in a US 8 (or DPNs, your preference)
- 1 color of worsted weight yarn (I'm using Wooly Worsted in "Wheat" from Ewe Ewe Yarns)
- REMOVABLE stitch marker

Here's the written version of what I'm speaking about in the video.

Cast on 80 sts (if you are using DPNs you may cast on fewer on each of the 4 needles, ensuring that you have multiples of 2 on each needle).

Join for working in the round. HOWEVER! Don't clip the marker on to the needles as you'll find it confusing when you begin round 2. Clip it into the bottom of the first or last stitch to indicate the beginning of the round instead.

Round 1 (setup round): *K1, sl1yo; rep from * to end (last st worked is the sl1yo).

Round 2 (BRP rnd): *Sl1yo, brp; rep from * to end.

Rnd 3 (BRK rnd): *Brk, sl1yo; rep from * to end.

Rep [Rnds 2 and 3].
