Estonian Lace Wrist Warmer #W901


These wrist warmers are knit in the round using stitches adapted from the Estonian lace book Pitsilised Koekirjad by Leili Reimann.

Purl stitches between the ribbons of lace ensure a close fit, and they knit up quickly in fingering weight yarns. This design originally appeared in the Nordic Heritage Museum's Nordic Knits booklet.
