Notes:

Not reversible.
Knit bottom up, however you can wear them either way.
Knit using the fair isle 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.
