Blackwater Arm Warmers
Introducing our beautifully designed cabled arm warmers, perfect for keeping you cozy and stylish through all types of weather. This unique knitting pattern features arm shaping to ensure a sleek and snug fit along the arm, making them not just functional but also fashionable. The center “arm” of the cable alternates direction, creating an intricate and interesting cable design that is a pleasure to knit. Inspired by the rich, blackish depths and stunning glimmers of turquoise light in the colorway of Madelinetosh Tosh Sock yarn, we've aptly named this pattern. While we recommend this particular yarn, any high-quality fingering-weight yarn will work excellently for crafting these elegant arm warmers!
