Pattern for knitted Traditional Garter Ties

[piperdbh]

Here's a possible alternative. I haven't tried this method yet but looks as if it should work just fine, and be a bit less fiddly than classic in-the-round knitting at that small size.

I agree about the "less fiddly" part. If you use just three stitches for I-cord, I'm afeared the garter would feel like a rope around your calf, and not in the rodeo sense.
