Music by Ben Sound

:) Materials I used:

• Craft Scissors
• Size US 11 {8mm} needles with 24″ circular cable
• {I used my Large HiyaHiya Circular Knitting Needle Set}
• Darning Needle
• You’ll need about 35-45 yards of a super bulky yarn
• {I used Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick Yarn}
• {Learn about yarn substitutes here}

:) Pattern:

• Cast-on in multiples of 2 stitches
• {for my swatch I CO 12 STS}
• Row 1: *Cross 2 LK*
• Row 2: P1 *Cross 2 RP* P1
• Note: On my swatch I did a Row 0: *K1, P1* and then I bound-off in the K1, P1 pattern to keep it from curling up.
• Cross 2 LK: Knit into the back of the second stitch, and then the back of the first stitch and then slip both off.
• Cross 2 RP: Purl into the front of the second stitch, and then the front of the first stitch and then slip both off.
• I’m thinking this swatch will be the newest addition to my coaster collection and I’ll make a bigger one for my #swatchblanket! :)
