Easy Knitted Bangles
by Ambah O'Brien Knitting up these bangles is highly satisfying - not only are they super-fast to make, they require but leftovers of your favourite yarn. Aim for groups of 3, but they are highly addictive and I soon discovered that they Stack up pretty nicely in higher numbers, too. I made this bevy of bangles in one evening, which is handy 'cos I think they make a great last-minute gift idea, as well as a glamorous accessory for your favorite outfit.

PATTERN NOTES:
The bangles are worked in the round at a tight gauge, causing the stockinette stitch to roll nicely.
