Hi everyone! This is a cool and little project. I used a kind of stitch called Purl twist ring and it's not as difficult as you may think if you find the name intimidating. If you are a beginner, don't be affraid and push youself to the next level! Here is the pattern:

• Yarn
• Button

ABBREVIATIONS:

• K: knit
• P: purl
• P2tog: purl 2 together

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Cast on 28 stitches
• Row1: k (right side)
• Row2: p1, (p2tog, but do not slip off needle, then p the 1st st again and SL both sets off needle together), p1
• Row3: k
• Row4: p2, (p2tog, but do not slip off needle, then p the 1st st again and SL both sets off needle together), p2

• Repeat rows 1-4 until the piece measures about 25 cm. 
• Bind off.
• Fold one end of the knitting up to create a
