Salanova Wrist Warmers

The Salanova Wrist Warmers are the playful companion to the Salanova Scarf and the flirty little sibling of the Lettuce Sweater. These ruffled wristlets are knit in the round with a snug 1x1 rib base that gently flares into a sculptural lettuce hem. Perfect for layering over long sleeves or peeking out from a coat, they add a soft, frilly touch to any outfit while keeping your hands cozy.
