Product description

These pretty armwarmers are a great wardrobe item for layer-lovers! They’re a great way to keep your wrists warm when knitting (or typing) in chillier conditions, too. We think they’re the perfect antidote for when the colorwork bug comes a’biting, and a great project for new knitters to try their hand at stranded knitting.

Designer: Michele Wang

Collection: Spring Thaw

    CONSTRUCTION

    • Armwarmers are worked circularly from forearm/top towards hand. Slight shaping is done throughout to follow the natural shape of the forearm.


    GAUGE

    • Colorwork Gauge: 7 stitches & 9 rounds = 1″ in circular colorwork with Colorwork Gauge
    • Needle Single-Color Stockinette Gauge: 7½ stitches & 10 rounds = 1” in circular stockinette with Stockinette Gauge Needle


    NEEDLES

    • One set of DPNs (or long circular, if using Magic Loop Method) in size needed to obtain Colorwork Gauge; suggested: US 2 (2¾ mm)
    • One set of DPNs (or long circular) in size needed to obtain Single-Color Stockinette Gauge – this needle will likely be one size smaller than Colorwork Gauge Needle; suggested: US 1 (2¼ mm)

    • 9″ circumference at top/forearm, 7″ circumference at palm; 9” long
    • Final measurements taken after blocking

  • Pattern Updates

    15 August 2012: (Version 2.0):

    Two typos were corrected in the chart legend. C2 and C3 now read as follows:

    • C2: Knit symbols shaded this color with Color 2.
    • C3: Knit symbols shaded this color with Color 3.
