Round 1: [K1 with CC, k1 with MC] to end of round.

Round 2: bring both yarns to front, [p1 with CC, pulling MC OVER CC, p1 in MC] to end of round (make sure next yarn is always coming over other). Yarn will twist – do not untwist!

Round 3: bring both yarns to front, [p1 with CC, pulling MC UNDER CC, p1 in MC] to end of round (be sure next yarn is always coming under other). Yarn will untwist on this round.
