Misty Morning Cable Knit Wrist Warmers Free Pattern

Embrace the cozy elegance of misty mornings with these beautifully textured cable knit wrist warmers. Perfect for a quick yet satisfying project, these warmers will keep your hands toasty while adding a touch of sophistication to any outfit.

Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn (choose a gentle misty gray for that cozy look)
• Needles: US 8 (5mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 32 stitches onto your US 8 (5mm) knitting needles. Make sure your stitches are not too tight to allow for flexibility.
2. Ribbing: Work in K2, P2 ribbing for 4 rows. This means you will knit 2 stitches, then purl 2 stitches, and repeat this pattern across the row. For the next row, continue the same K2, P2 pattern.
3. Begin Cable Pattern:
   • Row 1 (Right Side): K2, P2, C4F (cable 4 front), P2, K4, P2, C4B (cable 4 back), P2, K2.
   • Row 2 (Wrong Side): P2, K2, P4, K2, P4, K2, P4, K2, P2.
4. Repeat: Continue repeating Rows 1 and 2 until your piece measures 6 inches from the cast-on edge. This will create the beautiful cable texture that defines your wrist warmers.
5. Final Ribbing: Once you reach the desired length, work in K2, P2 ribbing for another 4 rows to finish the top edge of the wrist warmers.
6. Bind Off: Bind off your stitches loosely to ensure the top edge is flexible. To bind off, knit the first two stitches, then use your left needle to lift the first stitch over the second stitch and off the needle. Continue this until all stitches are bound off.
7. Sew Side Seam: With the right sides facing each other, sew the side seam of the wrist warmer, leaving a 1-inch gap for the thumb. You can use a whip stitch or any preferred sewing method to secure the seam.
8. Weave in Ends: Finally, use a yarn needle to weave in any loose ends from your cast-on and bind-off. This will give your wrist warmers a clean and polished look.
