Pattern Description:

A decorative sideways-knit neck or wrist warmer with short row shapings. The shapings are enhanced by use of holes of differing sizes. The holey rows require a degree of attention, followed by several relaxing plain rows. Don't worry, the pattern falls into a logical sequence after a couple of repeats. Minimal finishing is required. Both options may be fastened with buttons or joined in the round.
