It’s not yet really warm everywhere. You can still use a recycled wrist warmer. And much better, if you can change a boring ribbed wrist warmer in such a simple way into a nice smocked wrist warmer ;-)
By the way: this wrist warmer isn’t knitted, but sewn from an old sweater!

These wrist warmers are likely to be a very easy and quick gift and the best: you can make them for people, too, where you don’t know the wrist size ;-)

Aren’t the swirl wristwarmers most beautiful?
There’s also a German translation of the pattern (8-ern Wasser) and a very similar pattern (Alle 8-ung).

I’ve seen these Lithuanian wristwarmers before, they’re really beautiful!
And now I know how to knit them, too :)
Not long ago I presented the double knitted potholders.
As always it began to work in my head (not to think, thinking is stressful! ;-)) and I wanted absolutely know whether you can double knit in rounds.
You can ;-))
I knitted two wristwarmers for me with a set of double-pointed needles as for socks and here you can see the inside.
Here is the chart I used.
I’m not 100% positive about it because I’m simply knitting too loose and these fine patterns don’t look as good as I’d have wished.
Perhaps it is different for you :)
I knitted the pattern 5x, but of course you must adapt this to your wrists ;-))

Another great idea that I found in the book Häkeln + Stricken für Geeks: the stretch sensitive bracelet.
Very handy now that’s longer dark outside: as long as it’s light you wear it as normal non-shining wrist warmer and when it get’s dark, you shove it up your arm and then the light begins to shine and you’re better seen.

I find these fingerless lace gloves nice.
And if it gets really cold you can simply wear them over single-coloured, e.g. black gloves :)
