Polsie Wrist Warmers

Polsie are long, close-fitting, warm wrist warmers in ribbing pattern, featuring a contrasting strand of seed stitch and comfortable rolled cuffs. The ribbing gives the wrist warmers extra stretch, so they fit the hand perfectly, are comfortable and warm. The wrist warmers are knitted in the round using 3.0 mm double-pointed needles, working from the arm towards the hand. You start by knitting a rolled cuff in stockinette stitch, then continue in ribbing pattern. The increases for the thumb ensure the glove fits perfectly. The palm section features a strip of seed stitch in a contrasting colour and is finished with a rolled cuff. Finally, the thumb stitches that had been put on stitch-holder are picked up again and thumb is knitted in rounds in ribbing. At the end, a small rolled cuff is knitted to finish the thumb. **Measurements** Size: S (M) L (XL) Hand circumference: approx. 18 – (19/20) – 21.5 – (23) cm Glove size: 6.5 – (7/7.5) – 8 – (8.5) Length: approx. 22 (22) 23 (23) cm Note: length can be adjusted as desired by increasing the number of rounds. **Yarn** Main colour: 50 (50) 100 (100)g Cool Wool merino or Cool Wool Vintage by Lana Grossa (160m/50g; 100% merino wool); Contrast colour: 50 (50) 50 (50)g Cool Wool merino or Cool Wool Vintage by Lana Grossa (160m/50g; 100% merino wool). **Gauge** 32sts x 36r in ribbed pattern with needles 3.0 mm = 10 x 10 cm **Techniques used** Right- and left-slanting increases (details are explained in the instructions); knitting with 4 needles in the round; Note: jogless stripe technique is provided with the instructions.
