This is a stash buster pattern and designed to be used with left over sock yarn. Having made a generous pair of socks with the Debbie Bliss Rialto Luxury Sock yarn, I was left with plenty of yarn to make these - 31g to be precise!

I made them for a friend of mine who has arthritis in her wrists, they are designed to keep her joints warm and not get in the way. Wristwarmers are often too loose or slip and slide so that you cannot get on with things. These are comfortably snug, and the thumb holds them in position to they don’t move about. The also finish relatively low down on the fingers so as not to prevent any dexterity.

I have made one pair for my friend and already have three people wanting pairs, so I thought I would stick the pattern on Ravelry to see if other people like them as well!

Size:
Quite snug, but not tight, a bit like a sock on your hand
