Knitted beer/drink sleeves. I originally made one for my husband, then all his friends kept seeing it and thought it was cool. Since they knit up so fast I made a few for them all this year.
The pattern is really simple:
Worsted Weight Yarn
Size 8 US double pointed needles
Cast on 40 stitches
Knit 3, purl 2, in the round for 24 rows
Row 25: Purl all stitches
Row 26: Knit 3 stitches, k2tog, rep till end
Row 27: Knit 2 stitches, k2tog, rep till end
Row 28: Knit 1 stitches, k2tog, rep till end
Row 28: k2tog till end
Break yarn and slip tail through remaining stitches. Pull the hole closed and weave in the ends.
I did add a few decorations to them. Like a faux leather piece on the bottom, and a little faux leather tag at the top. Just to give them a little something.
