KK mop cover instructions

These are basic instructions, not row by row detailed ones. If you have any questions I'll be happy to try to answer them.

I used the red KK round loom. e-wrap 28 pegs 3 times. knit off 1 over 2. e-wrap 28 pegs and knit 1 over 2. continue this way for a total of 6 rows.
slip the 2 loops off the 1st peg and onto the 2nd peg and then pull the bottom 2 over the top two. (decrease made) slip the 2 loops off the 28th peg and onto the 27th peg and then pull the bottom 2 over the top 2, *e-wrap and knit the next 2 rows then decrease at both ends again. continue from * until you have 12 pegs left. e-wrap and knit 12 stitches each row for 12 rows (if you need to make the cover shorter or longer add or delete rows here.
Make increase as follows: wind yard 3 times around pegs to right and left of pegs 1 and 12 and pull the bottom loop over the top 2. e-wrap and knit stitches in between then e-wrap and knit all 14 stitches on the next row. coninue in this way until you again have loops on 28 pegs.
e-wrap and knit 6 rows after the last increase. cut from yarn ball and leave a 3 foot tail of yarn.
to bind off: with crochet hook (I used size f) remove loops from 1st and 2nd pegs, yarn over and pull through all 4 loops on hook then yarn over and pull through 2 loops on hook, chain 1, remove loops on next post so that you have 3 loops now on the hook, yarn over and pull through 3 loops on the hook, yarn over and pull through 2 loops and chain 1. continue in this way untill the last loops are bound off. after the last chain 1 weave the tail into the edge stitches.

Now I will try to come up with a pattern for a Dickey.
