UPDATE 8th of February 2024:
I’ve revised and updated the pattern. In addition to the instructions of knitting the warmes flat, I’ve added instructions for knitting the warmers in the round.

Required skills and knowledge: k, p, stranded knitting, mattress stitch, ability to read a (colour) repeat, elastic cast-on and cast-off, (work in the round).

Suggestions on the size alterations:
• To make the warmers longer / shorter, knit more / less rows of the pattern than suggested in the instructions. Pay attention to the repeat!
• To alter the circumference of the warmers, either go up or down one or two needle sizes or adjust work more / less sts than suggested in the instructions. Pay attention to the repeat!
