Style Redux
Lot’s of people have come to Casa Walsh looking for a knit arm warmer pattern, so I thought I’d do my best to provide one. I’ve never written a pattern, so bear with me.
I modified a mitten pattern, using a nice worsted weight yarn. I cast on 33 stitches on size 5 needles, work in a knit1 purl1 rib for an inch or so. Then I switched to size 7 double-pointed needles and knit in the round. I continually checked the width against my arm, decreasing as needed to match the narrowing of my forearm and wrist. I threw in a few stripes, and when I got to where the thumb hole should be, I knit 10 stitches with a piece of contrasting yarn, continued kniting for 4 more rounds, and bound off loosely. Going back to the thumb hole, I picked up the 10 stitches above and below the contrasting yarn peice with two needles, and yanked out the place-holding yarn, creating a hole. I bound off the picked up stitches with blue yarn, and wove in the loose ends. Arm warmers or long fingerless gloves, you be the judge.
What? You say patterns aren’t written in the first person? Tough.

Just because you’re not interested in the topic, doesn’t mean it shouldn’t count.

Yeah, I guess I did. With something small like arm warmers I felt comfortable adjusting the pattern as I went along. Although, it totally sucks when you have to rip back on double-pointed needles.
