Free Arm Warmers Knitting Pattern (In The Round)
Make 2
CO 34 sts onto 3 needles (n1: 12 sts, n2: 12 sts, n3: 10 sts)
Being careful not to twist sts:
Round 1: Knit all sts around (all 3 needles). Place marker.
Repeat round 1 until the piece measures approximately 11 inches long.
Note: The length is a personal preference. If you’d like your arm warmers longer, work more rows. If you’d like them shorter, work until the piece is the desired length.
BO all sts. Weave in ends and wear!
Free Arm Warmers Knitting Pattern (On Straight Needles)
Make 2
Using the cast on method of your choice:
CO 34 sts.
Row 1: Knit across.
Row 2: Purl across.
Repeat rows 1 and 2 until the piece measures approximately 11 inches long.
Note: The length is a personal preference. If you’d like your arm warmers longer, work more rows. If you’d like them shorter, work until the piece is the desired length.
BO all sts.
Using matching yarn and a tapestry needle, sew the seam up the side of arm/wrist warmers. I prefer the mattress stitch, but any method that you like can be used.
Weave in ends and wear!

Hi Neighbor…..I live eastside Milwaukee, and was pleased to see you are Mequon. Just started knitting again and am only doing easy stuff so the cowl scarf and wristwarmers are just right. Thanks! Nancy Peters
