ABBREVIATIONS

NOTES CO = Cast On
k = Knit
The tubular cast-on can be tricky to work until you get kfb = Knit into the front and back of the same stitch
the hang of it, and joining for working in the round k2tog = Knit two stitches together
without twisting the stitches takes more attentiveness p = Purl
than a standard long-tail cast-on, but the difference in PM = Place marker
the edge's elasticity and seamless look make the rep = Repeat
trouble worth it. Trust me! rnd(s) = Round(s)
St st = Stockinette stitch
st(s) = Stitch(es)
