Notes:

Reversible.
CO edge is the height, not the circumference.
Knit using the garter stitch.
Knit holding 2 strands of yarn together throughout.
This cozy is knit flat in garter stitch, meaning you’ll knit all the rows, however I’m tweaking it a little bit to create a nice clean edge.
I knit this a bit on the tight side, so it stands up on it’s own.
Don’t tug on it as you knit, leave it dense, it helps it stand up on it’s own.
If you make the edge stitch too tight on the odd rows, the edges won’t have as much stretch as the center, if it’s too loose the stitches will look like extra loops on the end of your row. So, like Goldilocks, you want it somewhere in the middle. :)
