This is the recipe I use to make two-at-a-time, toe-up socks. You can use whatever yarn and needles work for you. You will need a swatch.

This pattern makes a little tube to cover your bicycle hand brake lever. The brake is still usable, but it’s warmer in those months when it’s too cold to touch the metal with bare fingers but too warm for gloves. Any yarn would work for this, I just picked something that I had sitting around in a color that would brighten my mood.
