This is what I did and your mileage may vary greatly - try out the first half see how it goes and then tweak it from there. I've included instructions for placing row markers after each section - this is purely optional and just something I like to do for myself as I am usually being interrupted often while knitting and my row counter is way too attractive to my toddler to be of any use.

Materials:
US Size 8 (5.0mm) Needles
Lion Brand Suede Yarn
Waste yarn
Tapestry Needle
Row Markers (optional)
