Super warm wrist warmers with a lace detail purposely designed for cold hands people. As a software developer, I sit very often at my computer with ice cold hands, wrist warmers have been the solution to this problem. I selected specifically extra warm and fine wool for this project but
also, wool that is completely breathable to avoid sweaty hands indoors. Of course, you can wear your wrist warmers also outdoors.
The wrist warmers are knitted in round, bottom up, starting with the rib followed by the extension for the thumb and continuing with the rest of the hand. Then the thumb is finished.
Adaptations can be done to achieve different hand or thumb length.
The pattern was designed with 0 cm ease. For selecting your size, measure your hand width (across the palm) then, choose the size that is closer to that number.
