Resizing guide for other wrist sizes included.
Gauge:
25 sts x 39 rows = 5 x 5 cm (1.97’’) in garter stitch.
Beads: 1302 beads for a pair.
One wrist warmer needs 651 seed beeds of your favourite size, choose one from 8/0 - 11/0 (2 - 3.2 mm). Will need 93 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.
Suggested yarn: Mondial Merino Extrafine or similar
