Using whatever method suits you, cast on 15 stitches with classic yarn (worsted weight, plain, non-splitting, light or bright or medium color).
Work a few rows in garter (knit all, both sides), just to keep the bottom edge from curling.
Work back and forth in stockinette (knit on RS, purl on WS) for about an inch.
Do not break yarn. Leave work on needles.
