Notes

suggests Crochet hook towards the end - you don’t need one.

calls for long-tail CO or any 2-yarn CO - use a different colour; maybe sparkly or novelty yarn.
I just did my favourite CO then changed colour.

3.75mm for #1 (Peapod/Alfalfa)
Started with 2 circular needles; after 2-3 rows it fits on one.

Seems slow at first but speeds up quickly!

The last step (knit 6 stitches in the round) seems complicated; once you understand the concept, it’s very doable.

#1 posted here.

4.0mm for #2 (Ecru/Gedifra)
#2 posted here.

4.0mm for #3 (Peapod/Opulence)
4.5mm for bindoff.
#3 posted here.
