Dreamleaf wristwarmers are a pair of wrist warmers with a delicate leaf pattern. The wrist warmers are knitted in the round according to a chart on one side and in stockinette stitch on the other side. Stitches are increased to get a good fit for the thumb. Stitches for the thumb are put on hold before decreasing stitches while knitting the last cm. The thumb is knitted last.

There are two different charts, one chart for the left wrist warmer and one for the right wrist warmer. There are two options for the edges, rib or i-cord.

Sizes: 1, 2, 3

Measurements:
Width: 9 (10) 11 cm (lying flat)
Thumb width: 4 cm (lying flat)
Length: 20 cm with i-cord edges, 21 cm with rib edges

Gauge: 21x34 sts = 10x10 cm in stockinette stitch on 3,5 mm needle after blocking.

Make a gauge swatch. It is important to check if the knitting tension is correct to achieve the right measurements. If you get more stitches per 10 cm, work with a larger needle size. If you get fewer stitches, work with a smaller needle size.

Recommended needle size:
3,5 mm double pointed needles
or
3,5 mm circular needle (80/100 cm) if you use the Magic Loop technique

Suggestion 2:
29 (31) 33 gram Cashmere from Sandnes Garn (25 g = 110 m)

Left over yarn for the thumb stitches
2 stitch markers to mark the chart
2 stitch markers to mark where to increase for the thumb
