Featuring a wide cable panel at the front and smaller cables at the sides, these wristwarmers will appeal to those knitters who enjoy cables – or anyone wanting to give it a try.

Using DK yarn, they knit up faster than you’d think – great when you need a last-minute gift, or just want to make a little something to spoil yourself with.

These were my 2008 olympic knitting - hence the name!

Nov 2012: a new, improved version of this pattern has now been uploaded. Happy knitting!
