Perfect for the colder temperatures
I finished my first pair of wrist warmers. I imagine I’ll be needing them this winter. I sure could have used a pair last winter. Our offices get cold as heck after the weekends because the walls are s thick. They don’t warm up until Thursday or Friday.
I have a feeling they should be embellished in some way, but I don’t know in what way yet. So I decided to show them off as they are.
They can be worn all the way up, or scrunched down.
I’m sure cylinders would work, but I wanted them fitted. So that’s how I made them. I rarely use a pattern when I knit, so I didn’t this time either. But I've reconstructed the pattern. All these numbers have to be adjusted to fit your hand.
