Notes: Project begins with a crochet cast on which is joined to work in the round. If you need help with this cast on, check out the video at http://newstitchaday.com/crochet-cast-on/. Joining to work in the round is explained at http://newstitchaday.com/how-to-knit-the-invisible-join-i.... Although any cast on will do for this project, the crochet cast on is used because it mimics a standard bind off.
