Lindelbrunn is a small village in the south west Palatine region, more precisely in the district of Südliche Weinstraße (Southern Wine Route). One of the countless 13th-century castles near the village also bears this name.
You can knit wrist warmers in various ways: double-pointed needles, Crazy Trio, very short circular needles, Magic Loop, etc. This pattern was written for use the Magic Loop technique: The two cable sections of the Magic Loop are referred to as needles 1 and 2 in the pattern.
The wrist warmers are knitted from the cuff to the fingertips.
To avoid unsightly transitions, the wrist warmers were knitted inside out. This takes some get-ting used to at first, and the cast-on edge keeps folding back into its original shape, but after a few centimeters of knitting, you’ll have mastered it.
Alternatively, the transition between the needles can be offset by a few stitches in each round.
The wrist warmers shown were knitted in size 7.
