Using a size H crochet hook, start with provisional cast on
Provisionally cast on 18 sts with Clover size 3 dpns
Make a crochet chain of 20 sts
Pick up 18 sts from the crochet chain
Without twisting join in the round and knit in sts for 10 inches
String your 11 inch piece of elastic through your tube and secure by tying the ends together in a secure knot, or sew the ends together with your Clover Darning Needle.
Arrange all of your stitches on one needle and cut your working yarn, leaving a long tail for Kitchener Stitch.
Unravel your provisional cast on and place all of the stitches on one needle.
Arranging so your stitches are on the same side of the elastic for Kitchener Stitch.
Use Kitchener Stitch on the live stitches for the cast on and bind off sides.

Weave in your ends.
