7. Bind off (finish)

Medium:

2. Knit 2 rows
3. Knit one row, but instead of putting the needle through one loop, put it through two loops. (Knit two together)
4. Knit one, then bring the yarn over the needle to make two loops. Repeat until the end of the row and you have 38 loops again. (knit one, yarn over, knit one, yarn over.

Hard: (using two colors of yarn)

1. Alternate row colors as color-coded above in steps 1- 6.
2. Alternate colors every two rows in step 7.

****When using two colors, remember to knit with both colors on the edge to make sure your color you are NOT using moves up with your work.  If you do not do this, you WILL HAVE loops.
