I got some skeins of yarn as christmas gifts and I had been looking for a quick easy project to usem the for. Also I'm a avid cyclist. I found this pattern on Ravelry and thought it'd make a cute gift for my cycling friends

I used 4.0mm size needles and casted on 56 stitches (28st per side) and worked in the round using the magic loop technique (pattern originally is worked flat).

I knitted these in one afternoon as a break between larger projects. I feel like this is an easy project to adapt to different yarn weights, perfect for using leftover yarn. My friend really liked them, but has yet to try them on a ride because it's summer over here lol
