Warm Spices is a lovely pattern for headband and cuffs, featuring the Cable & Twist Stitch pattern. The headband is worked flat and then the cast-on and bind-off edges are seamed together to make a twist in the middle. The cuffs are worked flat and fastened with buttons. The pattern is both in written instructions and chart. The headband and cuffs are knitted up in DK / Light Worsted weight yarn to give your head, ears and wrists some extra warmth to beat the winter chill, just like warm spices do. You can also pair them with Warm Spices Socks!

The pattern has been test knitted. A big thank you to my testers: connief, lizcf59, TanjaMNZ, and yarnymama.

Warm Spices意為「暖香料」。使用DK/Light Worsted碼重的線材,希望髮帶/腕套能如同暖香料般提升頭部、耳朵和手腕的暖度。髮帶使用片織,由麻花針和扭針組合出優雅的花樣,最後將頭尾縫合,在中間製造出一個扭轉的效果。腕套使用片織,一端製作鈕扣孔,一端縫上鈕扣。模樣編有文字敘述和格子圖。另外有Warm Spices襪子可和髮帶/腕套搭配。

織圖經過測織,感謝織友Juno14, sfg81861507及wbsewing協助測試中文版織圖。
