EXECUTION
Stitches used:
Knit stitch = k; Knit 2 stitches together = k2tog;
Left leaning decrease- slip 2 stitches knitwise, slip them back to the left needle and k them together through the back loop = SSK;
Knit through front and back loop of the same stitch, making an increase = KFB;
Make 1 left (pick the bar between 2 stitches, from front to back, then k the bar through the back loop) = M1L;
Make 1 right (pick the bar between 2 stitches, from back to front, then k the bar as usual) = M1R;
Round (knit in the round, using the magic loop technique) = rnd;
Magic ring knitting cast-on – create each stitch on the magic ring with a crochet hook by passing the hook under the ring, making a yarn over, pulling it up and placing it on the knitting needle;
Provisional cast-on with two needles – hold two needles in parallel. Hold the yarn with your thumb and index fingers, as if you were to do a long tail cast-on. Loop the yarn from the thumb over the top/back needle, from back to front; then loop the yarn from the index finger over the bottom/front needle, from back to front. Repeat these two steps between as many times as needed to achieve the indicated number of stitches.
Before you start:
Read the entire pattern before starting your work.
Separate all materials needed.
Before stuffing the piece, slip all stitches to the needle cable.
Estimated size: 17 cm.
