this is a pretty simple pair of armwarmers designed especially for Brooklyn Handspun yarn. the cuff has a spiraling cable band, and the hand does not have a thumb gusset to avoid ugly variegated increase bumps. the pattern automatically make a cute little scalloped edge. the cuff is meant to fit tightly, with just enough give from the diagonal rib to slip over your hand. for me, nothing is worse than a pair of gloves that are always slipping off. switching to stockinette in the hand portion and increasing a few stitches gives the hand some room to move.

-About half a skein of Brooklyn Handspun Instant Gratification yarn (Sample is knit in“Lazy Day” )
