Using sock yarn or another tightly twisted fingering weight yarn, size 000 needles
Earring findings.

Pattern repeat is 6 + 5, rather then the book pattern which is 6 +3. I like the extra stitch at the beginning. So rather then knit 1 slip 1, I have knit 2, slip 1. I find it keeps the slip stitch from rolling around to the back as you carry the yarn up.
I carry the yarn ends behind the work so there is no sewing in at the end. And with something this small you don't want to try sewing in anything :-)

Cast on 17 stitches.
Knit 1 row
Purl 1 row
Join second thread
Knit 2, slip 1, Knit 5, slip 1 end with slip 1, knit 2
Proceed just as when you are knitting a full sized ball band washcloths

Knit 5, slip 1, etc end with knit 5

Do three sets of slip stitches.
End with beginning color
Knit 1 row
Purl 1 row
Bind off
The directions may seem a bit skimpy, but the pattern is copyrighted and if you don't have the book, go buy it. I am only giving the changes I made.
Next I have will probably be mitered earrings or maybe log cabin. ;-)I think I need a longer neck.
