New and improved way to KNIT A KNITTED KNOCKER.
PLEASE NOTE IF A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PATTERN AND VIDEO FOLLOW THE PATTERN! The pattern was revised 6/7/17 reversing round 1 and 2. Either is okay but for sizing the revised pattern results in an accurate stitch count for each size.

Approved Knitted Knockers pattern made on DPNs for knittedknockers.org that is an easier start than the original DPN pattern with the same great result.
