To wrap stitches:

To pick up wraps:

On right side of fabric- insert right needle through the front of the wrap from left to right, then work
with the wrapped stitch.

On wrong side of fabric- insert right needle through back of wraps from left to right, then work with
the wrapped stitch.

Cast on:

Cast on 54(60, 66, 72) stitches, the long tail cast on is a good choice to accommodate the stretch of
the ribbing but any stretchy cast on will work.

Divide over double pointed needles or circular(s) and join for knitting in the round, placing a stitch
marker to show the start of the round. Be careful not to twist the stitches as you join.
