General Information 

Breakdance! These textured ankle warmers and matching wrist warmers are fun to wear! Each stripe features a technique that I call ‘Grab Stitch’ that creates folds in the fabric which give your knitting a wavy look, as well as help to lock in that heat. It is knitted flat then seamed.

Sizing & Fitting for Ankle Warmers

Finished size (assembled): 10.25” (26 cm) / 11.5” (29 cm) / 12.5” (32 cm) circumference at upper ankle/lower leg. Fitting: It is designed to fit loosely at the main body of the warmers, but tighter at the ribbing trims. For a more secure fit at the top, suggest threading elastic cord through the stitches of the bind off edge.

Sizing for Wrist Warmers

Finished size (assembled): 6.5” (16.5 cm) / 7.75” (19.5 cm) / 9.75” (25 cm) circumference. To fit wrist circumference: 6.25” (16 cm) / 7.5” (19 cm) / 9.5” (24 cm). Fitting: It is designed to fit evenly at the main body of the warmers, but slightly tighter at the ribbing trims.
