Repeat K2, P2 ribbing for 9 rows and loosely cast off.

2. To join, I slipped stitched them together with a crochet hook which leaves a nice, neat edge. They can just as easily be sewn together though. The finished topper is 6 inches long. If you need to make them any wider, cast on a further 9 stitches for each extra pattern repeat.
