I’ve written my first pattern. I was inspired by several wrist warmers (aka fingerless mittens) and I really wanted a pair for myself but after several attempts I couldn’t find a pattern that was exactly what I was looking for. Here’s what I came up with to satisfy my craving to create a pair of these bad boys for myself. I hope you enjoy this pattern as much as me.

Happy Looming!
I can’t wait to start this project. Do you happen to have a pattern for Leg Warmers using the Loom?
Hi, Shirl! Please post a link when you’ve completed this – I’d love to see your finished Wrist Warmers! I do not have a leg warmer pattern but I was able to find a couple by doing a Google search. You might like this pattern: http://tinyurl.com/legwarmerpattern or try what I did and do a search.
Happy Looming!

Thanks for sharing this pattern! I have one done and will start the 2nd this evening. I did modify a bit because I have long and wide hands-and at the same time wanted them snug, lol. I am sooooo happy with how the first has turned out. After I finish the 2nd I’ll send or link a photo.
Thanks for this download. I’ve been looking for some easy wrist warmers to make for my daughter. Fingers crossed I’ll be able to make these for her. I’m just waiting for the download to complete then I’ll need to find out where to get hold of the loom to make them.
Many thanks.
warmets best wishes,

i just bought my first loom. would love to have someone in okla. show me some tricks and patterns
Thank you for the pattern, your efforts are appreciated. I have knitted up 2 pairs and have requests for several more from family and friends.
hi! i was just wondering if you could send the “top down wrist warmer pattern” to me? every time i try to download either the word or pdf it says the file if corrupt. thanks!
Hi, Connie! Please check your inbox.
I am using the blue round loom but it has 24 pegs so if i reverse when i get to 24 for thumb how will that make a space for the thumb to fit in as i am using all the pegs still?
Hi, Mercy! You’re absolutely correct. When you turn your work you will no longer be working in the round – you’ll be working back and forth for a few rows – which will create the thumb opening. Please let me know if you have any more questions!
thank you very much. I am really new to loom knitting and made 2 preemie hats from the internet and the youtube videos are very helpful too. Also did a neck warmer as i did not have enough yarn to do a scarf i just sewed the two chunky sides together as i was using chunky yarn its nice and thick. Only started this week using round loom then the shortest long loom for neck warmer. I really am enjoying this after doing crochet work for a few years.
Thank You Gretchen!
I have been looking through various patterns for these, but was never quite happy with them. Until now! This is exactly what I was looking for to make as a gift for someone. I’m thinking of adding a couple strands that will go between the middle fingers to sort of keep them in place, but I’ll have to see how it looks. Thanks again, these are great!
Would you explain the knit stitch (not e-wrap)? I only know the e-wrap. Thanks! These appear to be exactly what I’m looking for!
Hi, Shauna!
When I first started loom knitting I watched a lot of videos on the The Purling Sprite blog written by Isela Phelps. One entire section of her blog is devoted to loom knitting and she is considered by many to be a leading authority on loom knitting. She’s written several loom knitting books and she’s made numerous TV appearances to talk about looming. If you’ll follow THIS LINK, Isela has several videos posted on her blog that demonstrate different stitches using a loom, including the knit stitch.
