Armwarmers
 

My friend asked me to make him some armwarmers. I don't know how to know how much to knit so they fit just right.

How can you tell with those types of things?

I dont know about the arm warmers - but I love your screen name :rofling:

Thanks, though

I'm not sure what you mean by arm warmers--like sleeves without the sweater?

lol yes. these are supposed to be from wrist to elbow types.

I just wondered how I would know how much to knit and where to increase if I needed. becauseof how your arm gets bigger.

I suppose i could knit it in short sections? one for the size of your wrist, then so on and so on.

If you did it in ribbing, you'd probably get a better fit because of the stretchiness. Most sleeve patterns increase from the wrist at a rate of two stitches every 4-5 rows, so if you start at the wrist and keep trying it on, you could use that as a guideline.

This guys arm is a bit bigger than mine. I had him measure around at his wrist, elbow and in the middle though. and I have an idea of how long he wants it. so. just do it in loose ribbing, I suppose?

That's what I would try.
