Gauge: 9.5 STS & 15 rounds per 4″ {10cm} square, knit in the pattern below

Weight: 2.65oz {75g}

Notes:

Not reversible.

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

Knit using the stockinette 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 1-15: *K*

Round 16: BO loosely

Pattern, Knit Flat {Back & Forth}:

CO 28 STS

Row 1-15 {WS}: *P* {stockinette stitch}

Row 2-14 {RS}: *K* {stockinette stitch}

Row 16: BO loosely

Sew the side edges together

Both Patterns:

Optional: Add a button, or adornment of your choice :)

Weave in the ends. Block, if desired.

Knit the second the same as the first.

Optional: If you find that the top and bottom curl too much for your liking, you can *K1, P1* on the first row and BO in the K1, P1 pattern.
