Barbara Falke knitting design / knitting instructions for wrist warmers. Wrist warmers or hand warmers are not only a pretty eye-catcher, they are so wonderfully versatile. They can be used to casually lengthen sweater and blouse sleeves or to quietly peek out from the sleeve of a coat. They protect and warm the wrist as comfortably as socks warm our feet. Wrist warmers are also a lovely DIY gift idea for our loved ones.
