Wrist warmers are a perfect and stylish way to keep your wrists warm both for daily use and as addition to an evening outfit.
This pair was designed for “vampire” theme party. Red on black worked perfect, other colors will also look great.

Fits hand: 17 cm (6.7’’) around
Length: 9.5 cm (3.7’’)
Resizing guide for other wrist sizes included.

Gauge:
25 sts x 36 rows = 5 x 5 cm (1.97’’) in garter stitch.

Beads: 816 beads for a pair.
One wrist warmer needs 408 seed beeds of your favourite size, choose one from 8/0 - 11/0 (2 - 3.2 mm). Will need 68 beads extra for each 2 cm (0.78’’) larger wrist sizes (744 beads for 19 cm / 7.5’’ wrist etc.).
Check your bead manufacturer for details: this might be 15 - 40 grams of beads per single wrist warmer as the weight is very different. Be sure to have some extra beads as they sometimes break while knitting.
If you can choose: get the smallest bead with the largest hole in a given size range possible.

Knitting skills needed:

  • garter stitch knitting
  • ability to knit tight (using smaller size needles than recommended by yarn manufacturer)
  • flat knitting
