CO 36 for sideways, flat-knitted Cosby-- 36 st by about 11.75 inches, then flap to pass through handle.
Pattern: Row 1: k2, p 2 across. turn over and same pattern.
Row 3-4: P2, K2 across.
With even number X 2 stitches, this means you get a 2x2 checkerboard pattern that shifts very 2 no row.

When the length wrapped all the way around except for the handle’s space, I BO 3 st to allow room for the handle, K24, then BO the remainder. This left me with a tab to fit through the handle. I continued knitting the tab until it reached across the remaining gap and through the handle. Then I BO.
