CO 60 stitches, work in the round on double pointed needles creating helical stripes by switching yarn.

This project was to work out instructions in http://techknitting.blogspot.com/2011/03/helix-barberpole... and The Essential Guide to Color Knitting Techniques by Margaret Radcliffe for creating single row stripes without a jog while knitting in the round.

BO with both yarns and slip stitch with both yarns to close the CO circle created a fairly heavy border. It might be worth experimenting with a provisional cast on to start and grafting to end.
