A simple, timeless pair of wrist warmers designed for everyday wear.

The Stilla Wrist Warmers combine clean lines with practical comfort, making them an effortless addition to any cold-weather wardrobe. Worked in soft yarn with a comfortable fit, they are equally suited for crisp spring mornings, chilly autumn walks, or extra warmth indoors during winter.

Their understated design allows the beauty of the yarn and the knitting itself to take center stage. The result is a versatile accessory that feels both modern and enduring — a small project you will reach for again and again.

The pattern is approachable for newer knitters while still enjoyable for more experienced makers. The wrist warmers knit up quickly and make a thoughtful handmade gift.
There are no complicated techniques in this pattern, just the traditional cast on and bind off, simple rib, stockinette in the round, and increases to the right and left, as well as reverse loop increases.

Dimensions, yarn, needles and accessories

  • Yarn of your choice, suitable for the knitting tension (21 stitches per 10 cm/4 in). The wrist warmers featured in the photos are worked up in Puna from Drops yarn (50 g = 110 m/120 yd) in colorway 04. This yarn is made of 100% alpaca. You will need one skein for the smaller size and two for the larger size.
  • Size 4 mm/US 6 double pointed needles, or long circular needle if you use the magic loop technique - or the needle size that gives the right knitting tension.
  • 2 markers, a darning needle, a measuring tape and scissors.
  • Stitch holders or a bit of scrap yarn for storing thumb gusset stitches.
  • Many find a row counter handy to keep track of increases. A fine crochet hook makes it easier to pick up stitches for the thumbs.
  • Dimensions: Length approximately 24 cm / 9 ½ in and circumference 17 cm / 6 ¾ in for size 1. For size 2 the length is 25 cm / 9 ¾ in and the circumference is 19 cm / 7 ½ in. The wrist warmers should sit fairly tightly on the hands, so it is recommended to choose a size that is equal to the circumference of the hand or slightly narrower.
