NOTES:
1. Read the instructions all the way through before beginning.
2. Use your choice of double points, long circular or two circulars. I used double points.

SPECIAL STITCH:
Small Picot Cast On: Make a slip-knot and place it on your left needle. Knit a st into the slipknot, leaving the slipknot on the needle. Place the new st onto left needle by inserting the left needle into the front of the new st. Continue in this way to CO 5 sts, then bind off 1 st, leaving 4 sts. Continue to CO 5 sts and bind off 1 until 20 sts are on needle.
