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}

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.
