Wristers are similar to mittens, but without the fingers and thumb. They are perfect for knitting and keyboarding when you have cold hands because they leave the fingers free. These wristers have a 3” cuff (3½” for men) and also have ribbing at the top of the hand so they grip the hands snugly without gapping. They are knit snugly at a tighter gauge for warmth than is usual for worsted weight.
