This is a braid styled Knit Arm warmer that I call the "Warm me Up" arm warmer. This is a cabled design. I
do consider this a beginner pattern because I just learned how to
knit and the cable designs were the first thing I wanted to try.

TIPS
If
you're new to knitting cables and you need some advice on the needle to use....I don't use
the cable needles you see in stores. There are a couple of reasons.
I've never found a straight one. What I use is a blue yarn needle
that is sold in just about every store. If you were to use a straight
metal yarn needle the stitches would fall right off. When I use the
plastic kind I have no problems. They do sell the metal cable needles
that look like wings and a hook. I can't hold them properly and they
get caught on the yarn. Find what works best for you.
Another
tip……When
doing cables I only use circular needles. This way the when working
with the cable needle I don’t have to worry about the left knitting
needle falling down, It's hard to keep everything in place with
straight needed. When using circulars everything is connected. That's
just my opinion if straight needles work for you by all means use
them.
INFORMATION:
The picture you see below shows you the slip stitch pattern that borders the cable design.You can see the columns of V's. This pattern makes it nice and snug without ever being uncomfortable. That also means that it won't move around on you. It also keeps it's shape as you take it on and off.
