Mybootee Tweenee Armwarmers

Tweens love these arm warmers and the good thing about this pattern is that you can make them and they stretch enough that even adults can wear them. They stretch up to 12 inches in circumference and measure 12 inches in length.

Gauge: 7 sts = 1 inch, 9 rows = 1 inch
US size 2 dp needles required

This pattern has been tested with Mybootee Hand-painted sock yarn. Since gauge can be affected by different yarns, needle size, and how tightly you knit, it is important to make a swatch. If your swatch is smaller, then use a larger needle size, if your swatch is bigger, use a smaller needle size.

Cast on 64
Divide stitches evenly onto dp needles and join ends.
Row 1-20: K2 p2

K1 stitch after completing the 20th row and turn.

The next 20 rows will form the thumb hole. These rows will not be worked in the round, instead you will turn your work after each row is completed and you will work back the other way.
Row 21 (all odd rows): P1, (K2 P2) repeat unitil the 63rd stitch is worked, P1 and turn
.
Row 22 (all even rows): K2, (P2 K2) repeat until the 63rd stitch is worked, K1 and turn.
*After completing the 40th row, DO NOT TURN. You will now begin working in the round again..

Row 41: K1, (P2 K2) repeat for 58 more stitches. This will be the starting point for each row hereafter.
Row 42-100: K2 P2 for entire row.
*If you are working with 1 skein of Mybootee Handpainted Sock Yarn, you should now bind off, weave in loose ends, and begin the next armwarmer.

*If you are working with 2 skeins of Mybootee Handpainted Sock Yarn, you may continue to make the arm warmers as long as you wish or until the yarn runs out (which ever happens first).

NOTE: It is important to remember that when you bind off this pattern, it must be loose. If not, there may not be enough stretch for the armwarmer to go above your elbow. If your bind offs are usually tight, then use needle size 6-8 to bind off.
