Abbreviations

s = stitch(es)

k = knit

p = purl

rnd(s) = round(s)

x = times

Pattern

NB: The wrist warmers are worked with two threads with the Magic Loop technique.

Cast on 24 s with two threads.

The whole wrist warmer is worked in the following pattern (in the round with the Magic Loop technique):

Rnd 1: k all s.

Rnd 2: “k2, p1” - repeat from “ to “ throughout the rnd.

Repeat rnds 1-2 for approx 18 cm or 20 x = a total of 40 rnds. End with rnd 2.

Now prepare for the thumb like this:

The RIGHT hand:

k1, cast on 3 new s on the right needle, place the next 3 s on a piece of yarn or a stitch holder and k the rest of the rnd.

The LEFT hand:

k7, cast on 3 new s on the right needle, place the next 3 s on a piece of yarn or a stitch holder and k the rest of the rnd.

Both hands:

Continue working the pattern, begin with rnd 2, until the work measures approx 26 cm (a total of 7 times / 14 rnds). End with rnd 2 of the pattern.

Bind off.

Thumb:

Place the 3 s placed on the piece of yarn or the stitch holder back on the needle. Pick up 1 s from the side, pick up 3 s from the 3 new s, pick up 1 s from the other side = 8 s on the needle. Continue in the round with the Magic Loop technique or double pointed needles. The 6 ‘original’ s are worked in pattern, while the 2 side s are always p. Work, until the thumb measures approx 3 cm, end with rnd 2 of the pattern and bind off.

Same procedure for the other wrist warmer.

Finishing

Weave in the ends, wash and block - if necessary.
