Wristers or Pulse-Warmers
Wristers or Pulse-Warmers
(from
Handbook of Wool Knitting and Crochet, 1918)
(Explanation of
terms and stitches used)
Wristers or pulse-warmers, are very comfortable on a cold day, and
those described particularly so, as they fill the sleeve and completely
exclude the wind. Using knitting-worsted, or yarn of any desired size or
quality with needles to correspond, such as would be employed for a
man's knitted sock, cast 18 to 22 stitches on each of 3 needles, and
knit 2, purl 2, alternately, for 35 rows or more, according to length
required. Bind off loosely.
With bone crochet-hook work in straight rows from top to bottom,
putting a treble in every other stitch and 2 chain-stitches between
trebles; after the last treble at the edge chain 2, miss a row and
return on the next.
Having completed the rows of spaces, make 2 trebles in 1st space, 3
in next, and repeat, working back and forth until all the spaces are
filled. A very attractive finish is to work a row of doubles in color,
making a double in each treble. With fine wool, crochet-silk may be
prettily used for this finish.
A fringed wrister may be made on the foundation described by holding
a pencil on lengthwise with the left hand, and with the right sewing
over and over it; make the rows quite close together, cut the wound yarn
open with a pair of sharp scissors, and brush lightly across it, back
and forth, until the cut ends become "mossy" or fluffed up.
