Knit Notes

Make sure that you work through all three yarns for each stitch.

Because they are worked in k2, p2 rib, these wristwarmers will stretch to fit your hand without any shaping.

The stitches for the thumb are left on a stitch holder. When the main part has been completed, you return to these stitches and work the thumb.

Use the cable cast-on method to add extra stitches.
