Enjoy the versatility of these wrist warmers by wearing them either pulled down over the knuckles for warmth or pulled up to leave your fingers and thumbs free for everyday tasks.

Warmers are knit in the round, starting with an “inside out” (purl side facing) presentation of the standard Long-Tail Cast On. The unusual ribbing mimics a growing vine wrapping around a tree trunk, growing seamlessly into the “branches” of a vertical herringbone pattern. The sewn bind off mirrors the cast on edge.
