I decided to use a ball of James C. Brett 'Marble Chunky' that I had in the stash at home as it is 100% acrylic (my friend can't wear wool) and machine washable. This yarn comes in some beautiful colourways.
Please note: This pattern is for wrist warmers to fit a small lady's hand. You can increase the width of the piece by increasing the number of stitches that you cast on. Increase the number in multiples of two to keep moss stitch pattern correct.
Using chunky wool and large knitting needles they only take a short time to make and are very cosy indeed.
