Yarn: Berroco Vintage Colors (50% Acrylic, 40% Wool, 10% Nylon; 217 yards [200 meters]/100 grams); #5222 Oasis - one skein
Needles: One 24" circular needle in size 7
Notions: Tapestry needle, stitch marker or yarn scrap to mark end of round
Gauge: 20 stitches = 4 inches on size 7 needles
So let's get started! Cast on 138 stitches, place marker, and join in round. And now we'll proceed in Dewdrop Pattern, from page 149 of Barbara G. Walker's A Treasury of Knitting Patterns, which I've adapted for the round:
Rows 1 - 3: * k3, p3; rep from *
Row 4: * yo, sl1-k2tog-psso, yo, k3 *
Rows 5 - 7: * p3, k3 *
Row 8: * k3, yo, sl1-k2tog-psso, yo *
Repeat rows 1 - 8 until your piece measures roughly 7.5" (or is the size of your dreams), and you've just completed row 3 or row 7 of the pattern. Bind of loosely and tuck in ends. See, wasn't that easy?
