Using color 1 (I started with swan, white)

CO 75 STS

Row 1: *K*

Switching to color 2 (I used Dishie in Aquarium Multi)

Repeat rows 2-5, until it measures about 7” (18cm),or until desired width.

On the next row, using color 1, BO, in all knit stitches.

You can block it if you’d like to, it’s not required, but it helps square it up and even out the stitches.

Weave in the ends.

No blocking necessary.
