Arm Warmers "Candlelight-Mitts No. 1", knitting pattern, 3 sizes

CANDLELIGHT MITTS NO.1 - a knitting pattern by fil-art-aue

“Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” (Albus Dumbledore in “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban“)

A beautiful quote and a wonderful inspiration for these arm warmers! Garter Stitch and small cables add variety to the knitting and their interplay of textures is somewhat reminiscent of burning candles.
The cuffs fit snugly on the arm and 3 different sizes - each size with its own chart - as well as tips for slight adjustments, ensure a perfect fit. Towards the hand they become wider and create enough finger freedom where you need it. Despite the relatively thin yarn, these arm warmers are wonderfully warm and cozy because of the plastic pattern!

Now you can get started! Pull out your magic wands - or alternatively your knitting needles ;-) - and let your light shine! I'm looking forward to beautiful versions of your Candlelight-Mitts! Enjoy knitting!
