These arm-warmers are like unattached sleeves that one can wear with all the short or 3⁄4 sleeves that just don’t cut it when the weather gets colder. The good thing about them is that they also double as fingerless gloves if worn very low on the hands!
They feature a big mirrored cable, with crisp and neat looking braids thanks to the hidden purl stitch in-between them. The rest of the armwarmers is worked insStockinette stitch or simple k1,p1 ribbing.
Any smooth and highly twisted yarn is suitable for showing off the cables. In this sample 100% merino was used, which is an excellent choice for textured patterns.
This pattern uses a tubular cast on and bind off for a very neat looking finishing that has also extreme stretch. You can exchange this CO or BO with any other technique of your choice, just make sure that it is very stretchy!
A big thank you to my wonderful tech-editor Kate, who has saved me more than once from complete and utter embarrassement!!!!!
