Make a crochet chain several stitches longer than cast on. Knit 1 into each 'bump' for each stitch required. Work rows as given in pattern.

To place provisional cast on stitches onto needles, loosen the end and pull back the chain, 1 stitch at a time, placing each live stitch on your needle as you unravel.

Knit according to pattern instructions.
