Notes
This pod is worked seamlessly. Instead of joining each round with a slip stitch, you will mark the beginning of each round with a scrap piece of yarn, and move it up as you begin each new round.
I used the entire skein of this yarn, except for about 12-15 inches. If your tension is typically on the tighter side, you may want to have 2 skeins on hand.
