Now, we will stop working in rounds, we will work in rows,
to give our little guy his own characteristic personality. We will do a little
math, but don’t be afraid, it’s quite easy!
We have now 64 stitches around, and we want to work in two
sections of 16 stitches each in Front (to give him a bi-colored top), and we
will do the same at Back.
16 x 4=64. So it has to be exactly 16 stitches. To make it
easier, we will work in sections which we will later on, sew together.
