Button Vines By Lottie Lodge
5mm circular needles Cable needle 16 stitches per 4 inches These wristwarmers were knitted for Alexa in exchange for a really gorgeous cake. They're very simple to knit, seamless, with a little cable up the side and a button seed.
We'll knit these on one circular needle, using the magic loop method. I've provided links to a few handy tutorials for beginners. These are sized for the average woman's hand - for wider hands, add four stitches on the thumb side of the work.
The Pattern
Cast on 27 stitches with the long-tail cast on. Join your stitches by slipping one from the left needle onto the right and then passing the next stitch from the right needle over it. You should now have 26 stitches. Split the stitches evenly between the needles, 13 on each side.
Right wristwarmer
Rounds Instructions
1-11 Knit all stitches. 12 Place a start-of-round marker. Knit cable as directed. Place end-of-cable marker. Knit 5 stitches remaining on this side of the magic loop, and then knit the full 13 stitches on the other side until the end of the round. 13 ... and all odd rows, knit all stitches. 14-37 Knit cable as directed, slip marker, knit remaining 18 stitches in round. 38 Knit cable as directed, slip marker, knit remaining 5 stitches on this side of the magic loop. Turn the work. 39 Purl entire round. Turn the work. 40-47 Repeat rows 38 and 39. 48 This is the last cable round. Knit cable as directed and remove end-of-cable marker. Knit in the round, joining the top of the thumb hole. 49-60 Knit all stitches in the round. Cast off using JenyC's super-stretchy bind-off (see resources section).
