knitting pattern :: ruched arm warmers

I just finished writing up and listing a new knitting pattern in the shop!  Once again, necessity is the mother of invention - I really needed a pair of arm warmers so I came up with my own version.  I love arm warmers because they can extend the life of three-quarter sleeved shirts into the colder months, or you can layer them over long sleeves for added warmth.

I knit this pair with alpaca and bamboo blend fingering weight yarn so they are cozy and warm without being bulky.

These arm warmers have rolled edges, a bit of ruching at each wrist, and a tiny beaded detail.  I used really cute Japanese owl beads on mine!

You can see all the specifics in the listing in my shop.
