IMPROVED "Warm Me Up" Arm Warmer


MADE FLAT, NOT CIRCULAR
 
This is the second version of this arm warmer. I needed to make the underside "stronger" so it stayed in place. I used a moss stitch originally but it didn't work to well. I went with, the new standard. a slip stitch pattern. It's very durable and will never stretch out.  (There is another picture of the braid cable from my original pattern at the end of the post)
 
This cable is called the 3-strand cable but it can also be known as a Braid cable.
Cast On = 29
Finished Size = 6 x 9 inches
Needle Size = 10.5 US
Yards of Yarn = 60-75 yards
Rows = Complete rows 1-12 then [5-12 as needed]
 
It's an easy pattern for a beginner. There's the standard type of cable. Even if it's your first you'll be ok. I was a beginner when I made all of mine.

C6F= Slip 3 to the cable needle and hold in front, Knit 3 then knit the 3 stitches on the cable needle.

C6B= Slip 3 to the cable needle and hold in back, Knit 3 then knit the 3 stitches on the cable needle.

There are full assembly and finishing instructions.
