Nearly four years in the world entitles this girl to some opinions. Namely what she wears and what she likes. So when I asked her if I could knit something for her, she told me what, picked out the yarn and monitored my knitting progress every day. Unfortunately she also decided to use my scissors on them so these exact arm warmers, after some repairs, were given away as a birthday gift to Cora's BFF, as a consequence for messing with mama's knitting stuff (her choice of consequence, by the way). Little does she know I made her another pair just like them for her birthday in a month. Shhhh! Keep it on the down low.
As for the pattern, it's a simple tube knitted in a rib pattern and when I got within 3/4 of an inch of the end, I knitted 8 stitches onto some scrap yarn, re-knitted the stitches with the real yarn and carried on until the end. Then I came back and pulled those scrap yarn stitches, picking up the 8 stitches on each side plus 2 more on the ends and knitted a tube for the thumb. Make 2 of these, then bind off and weave in ends and watch your little fashionista light up!
