Pulse Point Wristlets (4ply), Digital Knitting Pattern

I have definitely shared how I feel the cold!  I’m a lizard whose bones need constant warming. But, when I’m dyeing or when I’m doing a lot of work on the keyboard, I find that my Sockkens get in the way. And so, the Pulse Point Wristlets came about!  The stranded colourwork makes them double-layered and each colour uses less than 20g, so they are perfect for either Baa Ram Ewe Pip Colourwork or mini-skeins!

18.5cm / 7  inches (cuffs unrolled)
