Christmas Wrist Warmers

So, because it's July, why not post some pictures of my Christmas Wrist Warmers that I made for BF's mom last Christmas. It was my first attempt at knitting on DPNs, and I think they came out just lovely.











































Super Easy Christmas Wrist Warmers (and a great warm-up for knitting a sock) Pattern:

MATERIALS

Yarn: Caron Simply Soft, in whichever colors you like. But, you can use any DK worsted weight yarn.

1 set US #5/3.75mm double-point or circular needles

GAUGE

DIRECTIONS (this pattern is a striped version of Knitty's VooDoo Wrist Warmers)

CO 40(44, 48) sts using the long tail cast-on method and set of double point needles or circulars.

Divide stitches evenly among needles.

Join and work in k2, p2 rib for 7 [7.5, 8] inches.

Change colors whenever you like, my stripes aren't even.
