These wrist warmers are super simple to make! You literally only need to know how to knit the basic stitch. That is it, well also to cast on and bind off (or you can get someone to do this for you). So this project I probably started maybe 5-7 years ago, and somehow it ended half-finished in my knitting box. I found it when looking for something to knit during my commute to work, which is about 30 mins. I cannot read because I get car sick and I want to be someone productive. But anyways. I am not a knitting expert, and I only “knit” in Norwegian, but I found some tutorials for you if you need it.
Supplies:
- Yarn
- Knitting needles
- Beads
- Optional: sewing needle to thread the beads
Instructions:
- Thread the beads on the yarn. It’s easiest to use a sewing needle.
- Cast on 32 stitches (or as many as you want) needles size 2.5
- Follow the pattern (the arrow is where you start and follow it when you knit), where there is an X you add a bead between two stitches. Only the wrong side rows are shown on the charts. Knit the right side row with no beads. The pattern is about 5 cm wide, knit as many patterns as needed until the desired size. How to knit the knit stitch.
- When you are complete, bind off and leave a long piece of yarn, use this to sew the two pieces together.

I love these. I have made several pairs of fingerless gloves but these are the bomb!
Can you let me know, what weight yarn did you use. Love the beads!!
What weight yarn, what size needles and beads?
I have not made these yet. I asked the same questions except for the 2.5 needles she stated.
I am sorry, I do not know the weight yarn it was.
My wrists are always cold….these will work wonderfully……thank you for the pattern….I like to work on small circular needles…which will make them go faster.
how many beads and what size bead what weight yarn
The amount of beads depends on the size. I made the pattern 4 times = 4×65 (ish). Per piece. As it was a project I did long ago I do not know what weight yarn I used.
How many beads get threaded onto yarn??
I lot. I did not know when I started this project how many I would need. I made the pattern 4 times, 4×65 (ish), but I would recommend adding a lot more than you think you need so you dont run out.
