Notes

First try… cast on 22 and used Backward Loop Cast-On as suggested. Kept going until about 3 inches in then I realized this is tiny!

Second try… followed what others have done and this time used Long-Tail Cast on with 60 sts. So much better! :)
59 sts once I joined in the round.
3 rows Seed Stitch

Using Techknitters’s A Very Nearly Invisible Increase

First increase (Row 8) 59 to 78 sts. (K2 inc 1) 19 times plus 2 sts.
Second increase (Row 16) 78 to 104 sts. (K2 inc 1) 26 times
Third increase (Row 24) 104 to 138 sts (K2 inc 1) 34 times plus 2.
Fourth increase (Row 32) 138 to 172 sts (K3 inc 1) 34 times plus 2 sts.

Knit to 13 1/4” Row 64. M1 for 173 sts then started Seed St border.

3/5/14 OK… this is too wide. I’m going to rip back to row 31 and eliminate the 4th increase.

3/12/14 138 sts on needles. Did 72 rows, then Garter St for 4 rows and bound off. Blocking now.
