May 2013: pattern has been downloaded almost one thousand time (English + Italian directions), I would really love to see your finished item if you have actually made these wrist-warmers. Anyone willing to post their project? Thank you!

Want to make a pair? Easy they are and they crochet up in almost no time.
I’ ve been seeing crocheted and knitted wrist-warmers (or half-mitts, or fingerless gloves, whatever you want to call them as long as we know we are talking about those handsome things you put on to keep your hands cozy and warm and leaving your fingers still able to move and do something) all around me during past (really? past??) winter, in papers, on people, even in blogs (would you ever expect there are blogs about crochet? Really? Would you? Do you even look for blogs about crochet? Oh, so it’ s not only me to be this crazy about yarn-things. Bless!).
Also, I was almost aching to use cashmere yarn for some project, although I knew it had to be something small (gorgeous as it may be, cashmere yarn does not sell that gorgeousness for nothing, you know). And it clicked: 1 ball, 2 perhaps is quite enough for MY wrist-warmers to come out of my hook.
Let’ s see how.
Size:
I made wristwarmers to fit my hand which is Medium but require some extra room, though Large is too much for me. Directions are therefore for Medium, but not tightly fitting (Should you wish to make a Small, subtract 4 to 6 chains from foundation row, should you need a Large, add 3 to 4 chains to foundation row).
Materials:
2 balls of 2 ply sport yarn, I used KASHMIR from CARDIFF (100% cashmere, 25 g or 0.87 oz = 93 mt or 102 yds)
Hook size 6 (4mm)
