Fair Isle armwarmers
by Erika Westerop - Cello Knits @ 2012
These armwarmers/sleeves are completely knitted in the round and have no thumb opening. I used a 30 cm circular needle but if you prefer you can also use a set of sock/double pointed needles. Happy knitting :)
Directions:
Cast on 56 sts with 2.5 mm needles and color D. Join in the round and knit 5 rounds in rib: K2/P2 Change to circular needle 3 mm. Place marker (slipping marker each round). From now on everything is knitted in stst and still in the round. Start knitting from the chart (begin at the right end bottom). Use the colored chart if you use the colors mentioned above. If you want to use other colors use the second chart (here you can fll in your own colors of choice). Knit the whole chart twice in total. Change to 2.5 mm needles and with color A knit 5 rounds in rib (K2/P2) Cast off loosely and weave in loose ends. Repeat all above for the second one. Enjoy your armwarmers!
