You will need:

300 grams of a jumbo yarn (MERINO MAXI by Knit Design Studio)

1-15 rows. Knit 16 stiches in a stocking stitch in the round. That means that after cast-on do not turn around and continue knit all stiches until 15 rows. Make sure there is no twist when connecting in the round.
Connect the second color if you knit in two colors. Tie the ends of a yarn together or use the felting and sewing needle for seamless connection.
Row 16. Knit 2 stiches together until the end. You will get 8 stiches on your needles.
