When knitting in the round you’re always knitting the right side of your work.
CO loosely, making sure your stitches slide easily. Too tight of a stitch will make these difficult to knit in the round. The first couple of rounds will be a little tight, but it gets easier as you go.

CO 28 STS, PM, join in the round
Rounds 1-18: *K2, P2* for about 6″ {15 cm}, or desired length
BO loosely in pattern
Weave in the ends.
Block, if desired.
Knit the second the same as the first.
