Homework:
Three swatches as follows: Swatch 1: With smooth, worsted-weight yarn, preferably wool, in a light color and appropriate size knitting needles, CO 15 sts. Work K1P1 rib for 1"/2.5cm, then continue in Stockinette St until swatch measures approx 2½" from beg, ending after WS row. Do not cut yarn. Do not BO.
