This is a knitted arm warmer that used increases and decreases to shape the design. It's okay if you're a beginner because I was. I had never done increases and decreases before.

I used a slip stitch type pattern for the underside for several reasons. It will be nice and snug but very comfortable. You can also take it on and off without stretching it out. It's nice and durable.

Below are some of the information you will find in the instructions. 

Made Flat, not in the round. You will sew the sides together. The instructions will show and easy way to do so.
