Spoonie Wrist Cozies

 

A 7-page PDF for these is available for free on Ravelry. The PDF has all notes on size and spoonie tips and charity knitting ideas.

I wear some kind of fingerless mitts almost year-round. In summer, I wanted something a little lighter to protect my hands where the hand and wrist connect. When air conditioning or even just a fan hits here, it can be quite painful. These were my answer to the problem.

This is a quick knit and would be a great gift or charity project. The cozies pictured above are the Loose Fit on size 7 needles and they have about an inch of give as I don't like anything that fits closely near my wrists. I can no longer wear bracelets. 

These came out too loose on my testers so I made a close fit pattern, too, and also tested them with size 6 needles for a smaller fit. The great thing is that these are such a quick knit, you can make several sizes and donate or give away the ones you don't like. They would also make a great spoonie gift. 

Yarn: worsted weight wool, superwash wool, acrylic (cottons may stretch and end up too big)

Needles: US 7/ 4.5mm  for larger size; US 6/ 4.0mm for smaller size
