Skill Level: Beginner

Finished Size: Gauge and size do not matter

Materials:

1. Suggested: 4.0 mm Knook with cord (Crochet hook with the ability to attach a cord)
2. Worsted weight cotton yarn.
3. Yarn needle for weaving in ends

Notes:

1. I strongly suggest you use a soft cotton yarn or cotton blend, and not Peaches & Cream or
Sugar & Cream kitchen cottons. They are stiff and don't have much flexibility.
2. Be prepared for your tension to be different. I am generally a tight crocheter, but my tension is
very loose when Knooking. Think of your first projects as a learning experience. Keep notes,
and experiment to see if you need to go up or down in hook size.
3. If you are using a locker hook, or other type of crochet hook with a hole in the end, slip about
3-4 inches through the hole. If you are using a cabled hook, attach the cable. Be sure to
attach your clip to the end of the cord.
4. If you are alternating cords, be sure to clip both ends holding the live stitches so they don't slip
off when working the next round

Instructions:

Using either the Long Tail or Crochet Cast On (or CO of your choice) cast on 30 stitches. If your live
stitches haven't already moved onto the cord at the end of the round, pull the cord so all the live
stitches are on it.

Make sure to keep the live stitches on the cord for the next round. At this point you can either; A)
remove the cord from the end of your Knook and attach a new cord, or B) Leave the cord, slide the
stitches towards the end, and turn the work making sure you have enough cord for the next row. This
is easy with a small project, but it's best to alternate cords with medium to larger sized projects.

Round 1 - 6: Turn your work, and work the knit stitch across the row, knitting every stitch. (30 sts)

Round 7 : Turn your work. Knit into the first 4 stitches. Purl the next 22 stitches. Knit last 4 stitches. (30 sts)

Round 8: Turn your work, and work the knit stitch across the row, knitting every stitch. (30 sts)

Rounds 9 - 42: Repeat rounds 9 and 10. (30 sts)

Rounds 43 – 48: Turn your work, and work the knit stitch across the row, knitting every stitch. (30 sts)

Cast Off:

Using your hook (or one size larger), work the “Basic Knit or Slip Stitch Crochet Bind Off,” or other bind
off of your choice. Finish off and weave in your ends.
