Sparkly Red Wrist Warmers

Sparkly Red Wrist Warmers

These can be worn on their own, but I made a Sparkly Red Tippet to go with them.

You will need:

Red chunky tinsel yarn.
Red double knit yarn with a bit of sparkle in it.
Knitting needles size 6mm (UK 4. US 10).

Method:

Cast on 30 stitches with red tinsel yarn.
Knit 6 rows garter stitch (knit stitches, no purl).
Change to red double knit yarn.
K1, K2tog. Knit to the last 3 stitches. K2tog, K1. (You should now have 28 stitches).
Knit 6cm (approx 2 1/4 inches) garter stitch.
Knit 6 rows rib (2 knit, 2 purl).
Bind off.
With right sides together fold the wrist warmer over and use yarn to stitch the side seam leaving a gap for the thumb. Do this by sewing 10cm (4 inches) from the bottom of the rib cuff up the side of the warmer. Leave a gap. Then sew 3cm (1 1/4 inches) from the top down.
Turn the wrist warmer right sides out.
Make two of these.
