| Call them what you will -- wristlets, wrist warmers, fingerless gloves, wristers, or driving gloves -- they're all fashionable. These fingerless gloves are featured in Michelle Edwards' story, Knitting Spring: Wristers for Those with Cold Hands. They're so customizable, you can make wrist warmers for your whole family! |

Knitting Spring Wristers
Lion Brand® LB 1878
GAUGE: Lacy 26 sts = 4 in. (10 cm)
Rib 18 sts = 4 in. (10 cm)
Plain Jane 28 sts = 4 in. (10 cm)
BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
STITCH EXPLANATION: PATTERN STITCHES
LACY
Rnd 1: *K3, p3, rep from * around.

| Knitting Spring Wristers Reviewed by Letty Labatte on 2011-04-13 |
 |
| This is a great pattern--very versatile. Change needle size and/or yarn and you have a new look. For a variety of wrister warmers you only need this one pattern.
