Jayne Style DS Cozy

This pattern came to mind after finishing a Jayne Cobb hat. The hat was WAY too big and I needed something to knit with some of the yarn. I was already on a double knit kick from the Jayne Hat so why the heck not?
The JS DS Cozy is double knitted (knit with 2 strands at the same time) flat (not in the round) then seamed up on one side and the bottom edge.
