This piece is knitted in the round, using a provisional cast on. The visible outer layer is worked in 2 contrasting colors, while the inside is ribbed to ensure a snug fit. The finishing is done by grafting.

It’s a perfect project for leftover yarn, and for practicing two-color stranded knitting - all the yarn carries at the back are hidden, so no worries about them snagging!
