Annabel Lee Arm Warmers

I love knitting and now I've discovered a new passion - designing! This design for arm warmers reminds me of the Victorian era, so with homage to Edgar Allen Poe, I've named them Annabel Lee. I hope you have as much fun making them as I had designing them. 

Yarn: Red Heart super saver, color 4321 - spa blue fleck, 1 skein 

Needles: 1 set straight, size 7 & 1 set dpn, size 6 




k = knit
p = purl
k2t = knit 2 together
