2 colors of Plymouth Encore Worsted Weight (used very little of two skeins of yarn)
1- US #5/3.75mm circular needle
1- Tapestry needle

Notes: In order to make the cast on and bind off match, I used long tail cast on and Elizabeth Zimmerman’s “cast off”. You can find more information on this cast off HERE.















New Baby:
CO: 68 sts in contrast color. Join to work in the round. Knit a few stitches and place stitch marker. (The stripes won’t match up exactly, but this will be covered up by the flower.)

Bind off. Weave in ends.
Top with Flower of your choice.
