Directions:
1. Using the arm knitting method and holding one strand of "Magnum"
yarn and one strand of the "Glitz" yarn, Cast on 12 stitches.
2. Without turning, knit back across the cast on stitches to the end.
3. Repeat step 2 for seven (7) rows. (12 stitches total).
4. Bind off stitches loosely.
To finish with Crocheted edges and button holes:
