You will need:
300 grams of a jumbo yarn (MERINO MAXI by Knit Design Studio)

- Cast on 16 stitches
- 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.
