Wrist warmers "Lotus", knitting pattern, 2 sizes

Everything in life has 2 sides and often the wrong side is especially beautiful in a surprising way!

As like the wrist warmers LOTUS! You can wear them on both sides, either with the right side or the wrong side outside. So, you get 2 models in one go! Like a lotus flower the arm warmers caress your hand. The three-dimensional pattern is as interesting to knit as to wear. I am always fascinated by the moment when such a pattern suddenly develops from a flat into a plastic knit! A simple Rib Stitch Pattern is following, makes your wrist warmers fitting close to your arms. This is also very nice on both sides and accordingly visually matching the three-dimensional pattern.
