Colorwork Wrist Warmers
Colorwork motifs inspired by traditional Scandinavian and Fair Isle colorwork techniques. Fancy motifs are on both front and back while trees grace the thumb gusset and sides of these reversible wrist warmers. Simple but perfect hems are knit to keep the edges from curling or flaring out.
