<description><![CDATA[You can use either 2 Circular Needles or double-pointed needles to knit in the round at small diameters.<br/><br/>To work in rounds, cast nine stitches on one end of the needle the same as you would on a straight needle. Check to make sure that the cast-on lays flat and smooth and is not twisted. Add a stitch marker to the end of the needle to mark the beginning of the round, and work the first round.  <br/><br/>If you use double-pointed needles, please evenly distribute your cast-on over three or four needles, keeping one needle out to knit with.  Make sure the cast-on lays flat and smooth and no stitches are twisted.  If you'd like, add a stitch marker to the first needle to mark the beginning of the round.  The needles either form a triangle (if you cast on to three needles) or a square (if you cast on to four needles).<br/><br/>For your information, I have provided the YouTube links below:<br/><br/>Knitting in the Round Part 1: Double Pointed Needles<br/><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEXlHPcE9QU" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEXlHPcE9QU</a><br/><br/>Knitting in the Round Part 2: Two Circular Needles<br/><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vd8nMEEYH_0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vd8nMEEYH_0</a><br/><br/>I hope this information will help you.<br/><br/>Mayumi<br/>customerservice@elann.com]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I am starting the Pi Topper for my friend who is going through chemo.  I can't figure out how to join just nine stitches.  I did it on faith, and I have a long stretch of yarn where i joined it.  Is this correct?  Also, when do you split the stitches between needles?  The pattern does not say.]]></description>
