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.
