Father Christmas gets a bit chilly out there delivering all the presents so I've designed him this lovely pair of wrist warmers.
These stranded colourwork wrist warmers are worn as wrist-cuffs rather than mitts, meaning there is no shaping and they are quick and simple to knit. An excellent first “fair isle” project. The bobbles are optional – just knit that stitch plain if you prefer!
This knitting kit includes a digital download copy of Nicky Jerrome's santa-hat wrist warmers pattern and enough yarn to make your pair of wrist warmers. The main colour and red of the hats are BC Garn Loch Lomond organic tweed wool and the white fluffy yarn is Isager Soft.
The pattern requires 4mm needles - whichever your preferred method for knitting small circumferences in the round. I used 80cm long circular needles for magic loop, but you can use double pointed needles or a 25cm short circular if you prefer. If you need to add needles, you can choose them here.
N.B. I've made these all on one needle size but if you prefer tighter ribbing, you can go down to a 3.5mm needle for the ribbing.
Please make sure you enter your email address carefully at checkout or you will not receive the pattern.
