🌟 Knit Cuffed Wristwarmers
Do you have a lonely skein of yarn that you’re not sure what to do with? Wristwarmers are a great way of using up that single skein and you may even have some leftover with this project!
Why make wristwarmers? They’re a great way to keep your hands warm in a chilly office while giving you flexibility to work unhindered. They're also great for days when it's a bit chilly out but you don't want full coverage. Or just because they can add a nice pop of color and texture to an outfit.
You can try this pattern with one or multiple colors. Try using one color for the top and bottom ribbed sections and another for the middle. Or color block them and each half one color. Or do stripes! There are a lot of possibilities with this simple tutorial.

6 inches long; at row 28, wristwarmer should be around 5″ long – feel free to adjust number of even (K32) and odd rows (K32) to your personal preference.
