1 Skein of Knitting Worsted
1 Pair of Bone or Amber Knitting Needles No. 5
Cast on 72 stitches loosely to allow for stretching. Knit 2, purl 2,
repeat from one side to the other until work measures 3 inches in depth.
The ribbing should measure at least 12 inches across when laid flat
without stretching. Next work back and forth in plain knitting for 6
inches more. _Do not slip first stitch._ These rows should measure 17
inches across. If they do not, heavier needles should be used. Make 3
more inches in ribbing as before, bind off loosely. Make another section
in same manner and sew the 2 sections together at the sides to form a
circular band.
