The Salanova Wrist Warmers are the playful companion to the Salanova Scarf and the flirty little sibling of the Lettuce Sweater. These ruffled wristlets are knit in the round with a snug 1x1 rib base that gently flares into a sculptural lettuce hem.

Perfect for layering over long sleeves or peeking out from a coat, they add a soft, frilly touch to any outfit while keeping your hands cozy. Quick to knit and endlessly wearable, the Salanova Wrist Warmers make an ideal gift or instant-gratification project.
