Silky Purple Arm Warmer #4

This is my Silky Purple Arm Warmer pattern. It's beautiful cable pattern. It’s repeated twice as you can see in the photographs. The underside is knit with, what I call, a slip stitch ribbing. It make it really strong and holds the arm warmer in place. I have a 6 inch wrist so I made the width 6 1/2 inches.

Remember to do a loose bind off otherwise it can be tight enough to cut the circulation off in your arm. I used Vanna White yarn. Only 1 skein is needed for the pair

This is a beautiful cable pattern. Its repeated twice as you can see in the photographs. The underside is knit with, what I call, a slip stitch ribbing. It gives it extra strength in my opinion. Better than regular ribbing. The cable pattern is used on 14 sts.

If you wish to change to regular ribbing, or another design, I will post the instructions for the cable pattern itself after MY pattern on Page 3.

Sewing the arm warmer by bringing the 2 sides together and sewing them. Leave enough yarn at the beginning and end to weave in the tails.
