Loading... Please wait...Sweet robin wrist-ees are the perfect thing to wear when feeding birds in the park. Simply point to your wrist & explain that you’re a friend. Works a charm!
Sizes: S (M) (L) (XL)
Finished measurements flat: 3” (3.25”) (3.5”) (3.75”) wide, by 4.75” (5”) (5.25”) (5.5”) long.
When deciding on size, place hand flat on top of a tape measure and measure width of hand at the knuckles. Cuffs work best when they are quite snug. Pictured in S.
Tension/gauge: Work 26 sts to measure 4” in St st using 2.75mm or US 2 needles with MC. Use needles necessary to get gauge.

You don’t need much of some of these colors as some of them are used for small bits & embroidery. You might try embroidery floss or un-plying some thicker wool and using that?
