I'm not sure why these wrist warmers remind me of Punky Brewster. But I designed them and it's my blog....so I figure I can call them whatever I want. Right Punky?
Want the pattern? Okay....since I'm nice. Here it is:

Gauge = approx. 5st = 1” (stockinette) *Because these are ribbed they stretch nicely, gauge isn’t super important as long as it is kind of close
Yarn = 1 ball Pattons Classic Wool Merino in Rosewood
Needles = sz. 7 DPNs or size needed to get close to gauge
Co 40 stitches on DPNs and joint to knit in the round
Place marker to track beginning of round and *K2 , P2* until piece measure 5”
Turn work (so you are knitting on the WS – on the inside of your circle) and *K2 , P2* until you reach end of row.
Turn again and *K2 , P2* until end of row.
Continue back and forth like this for 10 more rows (12 rows total)
At the end of row 12, re-join for knitting in the round until piece measures 8” total
Weave in ends
Repeat for second wrist warmer
