Craft: Knitting

This pattern is available on Ravelry.

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.

Construction

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

Yardage

Three colors of fingering-weight yarn in the following amounts:
• 65 yards of Color 1 (C1) – shown in Snowbound (Pale Grey)
• 35 yards of Color 2 (C2) – shown in Faded Quilt (Lt. Blue)
• 125 yards of Color 3 (C3) – shown in Old World (Dk. Blue)

Yarn

3 skeins of Brooklyn Tweed Loft (100% American Targhee-Columbia Wool; 275 yards/50g) – one skein of each of the colors listed above, or another combination of your choosing

BC Garn Bio Shetland
