Zig Zag Warmers

ZIG ZAG WARMERS

A little to the left, a little to the right.

Materials

1 skein (about 100 yards) worsted weight yarn. This lovely yarn was dyed by a mama on diaperswappers.com.

Size 5 DPNs or circular needles (I found this pattern worked well using two circular needles).

Directions

Cast on 37 stitches, join to knit in the round, taking care to not twist stitches.

Work the zig zag pattern for 5 inches, or whatever length works for you. (I can totally see this pattern in an elbow length glove!)

Zig Zag Pattern

Round 1: Sl 1, K1, psso, K2, YO, K2, repeat to last st, K1

Round 2: Knit

Rounds 3-6: Repeat rounds 1 and 2 twice.

Round 7: K3, *YO, K2, K2tog, K2; repeat from * to last 4 sts, YO, K2, K2tog

Round 8: Knit

Rounds 9-12: Repeat rows 7 and 8 twice.

After an odd numbered round, turn knitting to knit flat, slipping the first stitch of each row, and purling every even numbered row.

Work flat for about 12 rows. After an odd numbered row, join again to knit in the round, switching back to knitting every even numbered round.

Work 7-8 more rounds, ending after an even round.

Purl 1 round.

Knit 1 round.

Cast off all stitches.

Fishtail Wrist Warmers

FISHTAIL WRIST WARMERS

Comfy, cute, what more do you want?

Materials:

I used 1 skein (109 yards) of Wings, by Classic Elite, but any worsted weight yarn should do. The softer the better!


Size 5 DPNs or circular needles (I found this pattern worked well using two circular needles).

(In the break for the thumb holes, all even rows should be K1, P9, K1)

Directions

Cast on 36 stitches, join, being careful not to twist stitches.

Work a K2, P2 rib until it measures 1 inch.

Right hand: Knit 20 stitches, work 11 stitches from Lace Panel Pattern, knit 5 stitches.

Left hand: Knit 5 stitches, work 11 stitches from Lace Panel Pattern, knit 20 stitches.

Work Lace Panel Pattern 3 times.

On the next round, follow the pattern as above. At the end of the round, turn your knitting to work flat.

Every odd row will be worked as noted above. Each even row will be worked as follows:

Right Hand: Sl 1, P4, K1, P9, K1, P20

Left Hand: Sl 1, P19, K1, P9, K1, P5

Work pattern 2 times, plus the first 5 rows. At the end of the 5th row, instead of turning to purl, continue knitting in the round, following the original pattern. You'll work two more rounds (Row 6 and Row 1 from the Lace Panel Pattern).

Switch back to the K2, P2 rib for 7 rounds, then bind off in pattern.

Weave in ends.
