Notes
Tips
Always make a swatch to determine your gauge. Gor altid ett stickfasthetsprov. You can easily change the width of the wristwarmers by adding or reducing 6 stitches at a time. Du kan latt andra vidden pa mudden genom att lagga till eller ta bort 6 maskor at gangen. You can easily change the length of these wrist-warmers by adding or reducing the number of rows 8 or 16 rows at a time. Du kan latt andra langden pa mudden genom att lagga till eller ta bort 8 eller 16 varv at gangen. When I divide the total number of stitches on 4 needles I keep them together in repeats so that I don't have to change a needle in the middle of a repeat. This means that 84 stitches will be divided 24/18/24/18. Nar jag fordelar maskorna pa stickorna haller jag ihop dem rapportvis for att jag tycker att det ar lattare att inte byta sticka mitt i en rapport. Det innebär att om jag har 84 m fordelar jag dem: 24/18/24/18.
