Note: I haven’t tried it, but if you need a larger/ smaller size, you could probably add or subtract the number of stitches on N2 and N4. You would have to change the decrease rows to decrease in the middle of whatever number of stitches you chose.

Also, I used a marker to mark the end of each round, rather than a beginning-of-round marker. With all the markers on N1, I found it got too crowded. You might not need an ending marker - it’s only purpose was to alert me that I had finished the round - but it was certainly helpful when I was reading aloud to the children and knitting at the same time!

Size: I made these to fit my wrists. These are my measurements that I made the pattern around: 10.5 inches/27 cm near the elbow, 6.5 inches/ 16.5 cm at the wrist, 8 inches/20.5cm from bottom of cuff to wristbone. My palm is 8 inches/20cm around. The cuff is close-fitting (I made several early, floppier versions, and I think this version is just right). The garter stitch borders keep the cuff from curling annoyingly.
