This very easy pattern can be made by knitting a short tube in the yarn and gauge of your choice, or is a great way to repurpose a dead project such as a sock that has gone too holey in the foot to darn, or even a sweater sleeve. If you have a circular knitting machine (csm) this is a great way to use up odds and ends of yarn.

The pattern is a simple photo tutorial rather than a specific set of instructions. Depending on whether you start with an existing tube or knit specially you will get different sizes, but these always look great, and a heap of them in different yarns and shades piled up make a great decoration or use them as juggling balls as well as pincushions.
