Materials
– Less than 1 skein of Cascade 220 (or any worsted weight yarn) for main body (color A)

– Size US 8 (5mm) straight needles
– Tapestry needle

Abbreviations
CO – Cast on
BO – Bind off
K – Knit
P – Purl
M1 – Make one increase
P2tog – Purl 2 together
Notes:
Measuring: Gauge – 9 stitches / 2 inches. Finished dimension – 6 inches long; at row 28, wristwarmer should be around 5″ long – feel free to adjust number of even (K32) and odd rows (K32) to your personal preference.
If you are planning on sewing the sides together instead of crochet, it’s recommended to slip the first stitch of every row.
You can knit these in the round – just replace all Purl stitches with Knit stitches in the pattern.
