  3. Cut yarn leaving ~10”tail.
  4. Using yarn needle, thread yarn tail through live stitches and pull them into a circle.

Small Circle

  1. Cast on ~40 stitches – enough stitches to reach around if your are using the circular needle.
  2. Knit around for about 1”
  3. Finish as above.

Place the circles together. Use the yarn tails to tack them together. Add the button to cover the center hole.


Straight Needle Version
Knit two Stockinette rectangles using the same number of stitches and inches noted above. If you remember to leave a nice yarn tail before casting on you can use it to join the side seam from the top towards the center after you gather the live stitches into a circle.
