The Design

“Beautiful luster, subtle halo.”

Knit in two colors, the two layers of these soft, scrunchy cuffs are designed like our Inside Outside Cowl and can be pulled through for infinite variation—from color tipped to color blocked to completely reversed. Pick two colors and give these arm warmers your personal touch!

Madelinetosh Tosh Silk Cloud lends a beautiful luster and subtle halo to these warming cuffs. Tosh Silk Cloud is a lace-weight mohair blend with a core of silk (a significant 40%!). This floaty fiber creates a fine fabric that’s smooth and warm in the double layers of our Reversible Arm Warmers.

KNITTER'S NOTES
For the love of tiny needles! These arm warmers are a perfect little treat to work in between chunkier projects and so wearable. With a gauge this fine, they give the look of a chic sweater cuff under the sleeves of a blazer or jacket without all the extra bulk. Reversibility gives you two pairs in one! While we have opted to use the same yarn in different colors, we think it would look mighty fine in different yarns of the same color. Mix and match to your heart’s delight!

While you’re knitting, keep an eye out for dropped stitches every few rounds. Our test knitters recommend keeping a tiny crochet hook at hand for rescues.
