Instructions:

2. Work in stockinette stitch for 20 rows, alternating between pink and white yarn every 5 rows to create stripes.
3. On the next right side row, knit 30 stitches with the white yarn, slip the next 15 stitches onto a stitch holder or scrap yarn, join the pink yarn and knit the remaining 15 stitches.
