After a good few lovely comments on my last pair of chunky wristwarmers I was asked how they were made, so here, for you all to enjoy, is the simple, easy pattern so you can make your own.
You will need:
100g Chunky Wool (I like the random colourways, but any is fine)
- 2 Large Complimenting Buttons.
- Size 5.5mm Knitting Needles.
- Large Sewing (Tapestry) Needle.
1st ROW: *Knit 2, Purl 2, Repeat from * to end.
2nd ROW: **Purl 2, Knit 2, Repeat from ** to end.
Continue these two row until your work measures 7".
Cast off, and leave a length of wool for sewing.
Decide which is your top and bottom, then sew the two edges together from the top, for 1.5". Sew in your wool, and re-attach it at the bottom of your work. Sew the sides together for 3.5" work, which will leave a thumb-hole of 2". Sew in your ends.
Attach the button so it sits on the back of your wrist.
*****If you need to make these wrist-warmers smaller or larger, either add on or remove 4 stitches from the cast-on amount.
Enjoy !
And in true Blue Peter fashion, here are some I made earlier :)
You are a star Sooz, cheers me dear
