Notes
Not reversible.
Knit bottom up, however you can wear them either way.
Knit using the rib & cable knit stitches.
Knit in the round with a circular needle.
When knitting in the round you’re always knitting the right side of your work.
I knit mine using HiyaHiya interchangeable needles with 3 1/2” (9cm) tips.
CO loosely, making sure your stitches slide easily. Too tight of a stitch will make these difficult to knit in the round. The first couple of rounds will be a little tight, but it gets easier as you go.
