I had a skein of this gorgeous space-dyed sock yarn that I didn’t want to be hidden inside my boots.  I loved the way the stripes worked in this stitch pattern so I designed these elbow length armlets to keep me warm whilst still having my fingers free for knitting!
This pattern also works well in a solid coloured yarn or your own design of stripes if space-dye isn’t your thing.

  
 

 

To fit average sized women’s hands and forearms snuggly.  For chunkier limbs the pattern can be easily altered to increase size.
