Jesper Bracers
The Jesper Bracers joins the collection in a fun mash-up of the Jesper Bandana Cowl and Jesper Mitts. Like the bandana cowl, this uses Japanese short rows for shaping. The texture is stretchy and very forgiving to extend over the forearm, and length is adjustable for the amount of coverage up the forearm. The left and right mitts mirror each other perfectly and because this uses worsted weight yarn, it’s also a very quick knit!
Various sizes are achieved by changing the gauge.

Worsted weight yarn ~ 110-120 yards
Recommended: Laines du Nord Vasto
US 6/ 4mm shorties, DPNs, or circular needles for magic loop method
