1-16" circular, if desired
darning needle
button
gauge:
2 stitches per inch over stockinette in the round
directions:
With circular, or two dpn's, cast on 34 stitches.
Work back and forth in garter stitch (knit every row) for 6
rows. Bind off 4 stitches, knit 30, then
join to work in the round and continue to work in stockinette (knitting ever
round) until work measures approximately 3”.

Decrease 5 stitches, every other round until you have 3
stitches on the needle as follows:
Round 1: Knit 4
k2tog; repeat to end of round...25 stitches remain.
Round 2: Knit.
Round 3: Knit 3

if using circular, change to dpn's...
Continue decreasing as
established, 5 stitches every other round, until 5 stitches remain on the
needles.
Knit 2 together, knit 1,
knit 2 together...3 stitches remain.
Knit these 3 stitches in
i-cord (stitch diva has a good tutorial online) for an inch-or-two. With your tapestry needle, pull yarn through
the 3 stitches and thread to the inside of the i-cord. Leave cord
as is, knot it, or add a "lazy knitter's tassel"(below).
lazy knitter's tassel:
Thread a darning needle
with several strands of yarn, each about 12" long. Pull through the
end of the i-cord stem halfway, then knot. Clip ends to desired length.
et voilá!!!
