4. Slip off the first stitch and plain knit off the other stitches in the next row.

By this time you will notice that when you are purling you are doing the work on the wrong side.

5. Slip off the first stitch on the next row. After slipping off this stitch, throw the yarn in front of the right needle and purl across the row.

6. Continue knitting and purling every other row until the piece of work is 2 inches long. Bind off. This forms one side of the bean bag.

7. Make another piece like this for the other side, using the blue yarn.

To Make the Bean Bag

1. Make a little bag of soft cotton cloth and partly fill it with rice.
