Suitable for beginner knitters and those new to cables, these arm warmers are super quick and easy to make.

Knitted flat as a rectangular piece with a gap in the side seam for a thumb hole, these armwarmers can be worn as fingerless mittens, or pushed back onto the wrist like sleeves.

If you would like your arm warmers longer, then just work more pattern repeats, but remember that you will need more yarn.
