Notes:

Not reversible.

Knit bottom up, however you can wear them either way.

Knit using the 2×2 rib knit stitch.

Knit in the round with a circular needle.

I used HiyaHiya interchangeable needles with 3 1/2″ {9cm} tips.

When knitting in the round you’re always knitting the right side of your work.

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.

Pattern, Knit in the Round:

CO 28 STS, PM, join in the round

Rounds 1-18: *K2, P2* for about 6″ {15 cm}, or desired length

BO loosely in pattern

Weave in the ends.

Block, if desired.

Knit the second the same as the first.

Pattern, Knit Flat {Back & Forth}:

CO 28 STS

Rounds 1-18: *K2, P2* for about 6″ {15 cm}, or desired length

BO loosely in pattern

Sew the outside edges together. {the top and bottom are the CO and BO edges}

Weave in the ends.

No blocking required.

Knit the second the same as the first
