Notes

After sporting a pair of these wrist warmers, several friends requested a pair. So time to start knitting…

Made minor adjustments. Omitted beads and to prevent curling, setup k1,p1 row on bottom bell. I also added and extra setup row to lengthen the bell as I’m using fine weight wool as MC.
Also, on top bell with CC yarn, I knit a row before joining in the round. I find this helps preventing twists on circular needles. Added extra setup row for lenght. And only joined and knit the cuff in MC.

Used circular needles and used the magic loop technique. Very pleased with result.
