This wristband has been designed to be a little protection for the wrist. It should not restrict the movement of the wrist when doing medieval sword fighting training.

It is not for freefighting (!), but controlled training of techniques when the repetition of the same technique could lead to a very uncomfortable feeling in the wrist after the training.

The wearers have looked into normal sweatbands for wrists, but found them too uncomfortable.

Make sure that it is about 5.5 cm in width and not too tightly knit that it keeps some flex.

I used cotton yarn for needle size 2 - 2.5 (European), knitting three threads at once with a size 6 (European) needle.

This pattern is a nice stash-killer as you can combine any yarns you like.
