corrugated wrist warmers

Very architectural, with good reason: the raised ridges help keep in the warmth. Worked holding two 4ply cashmere strands together you'll create a thick fabric that packs a hot punch. These are great for when I have to play music in a freezing hall and must have warm hands. I gifted a pair to a good friend who uses them when working with clay in her art studio. 

Choose two mini skeins, either the same colour or maybe a gentle marl. Two colours close together will give you an interesting texture without being jarring. Have a look at the 4 ply colour range and send me a note in the comments as to which colours you'd like as there are too many to list as options unfortunately.

In the kit:

• 2 x 20g mini skeins of 4ply cashmere yarn (total yardage 150m or 164y)
• A pattern PDF
