An easy, quick knit, these arm warmers worked in White Oak Studios’ tvyarn were inspired by one of the characters in their colorway’s namesake show. They feature a flared picot cuff, unobtrusive decreases hidden in the purl columns of the ribbing, and decorative finger loops capping hand sections shaped like Gothic arches. (For a more conventional look, the entire hand can easily be tucked into the arm and out of sight.) Picture Drusilla donning these for a nighttime hunt in Sunnydale or Spike commissioning a local knitter to make them for her--and then trying to eat the knitter, of course! (The knitter is safe, having dozens of pointy wooden needles at her disposal to fend off any vampire who would do her harm.)
