Sailor Jerry, by Lara Breese
Description
When my ex-Navy stepdad had a stroke and went into rehab, I wanted to knit something useful that would also show my support and immediately thought of those ugly terry cloth wristbands people use to keep their grip from slipping. The result is a tightly knit cotton wristband with ribbing to keep it snug and an embossed anchor to keep it interesting. A quick and easy knit, with endless variations possible, it makes a great stashbuster! Size Finished Size $5.5^{\circ}$ to fit wrist 7-8"' $1.5{-}2.5^{\circ}$ negative ease recommended.

Size alterations can easily be made by adding or subtracting 4 sts (in the ribbing), remember it does have to slide over the hand so take that into consideration.
