More Arm Warmers

I have a lot of time on my hands, and my mom said she wanted arm warmers, so I made some more. 

I made them from Knit Picks Felici "Arugula" hence the name. Here are notes about how I knit them I won't write the pattern design, but it came from 200 Ripple Stitch Patterns. The pattern repeat is 13sts.

I started by casting on 60 sts and worked several rounds in rib stitch. On the next round I increased 5sts (65sts total or 5 pattern repeats). I worked in pattern until the thumb gusset. I suppose I could have made the thumb gusset in between two of the pattern repeats, but I sacrificed one repeat for the gusset. I worked 4 pattern repeats and for one hand K2, PM, K4, PM, K7 for the other hand K7, PM, K4, PM, K2. Another silly thing I did was increase the thumb gusset sts (SM, M1, knit to marker, M1, SM) on every third rnd. This makes a nice thumb gusset in the fingering weight yarn, but the stitch pattern is over 2 rnds. So I couldn't work it like "every time I do row 1 of the pattern I am doing the gusset increase". I worked until I had 22sts between markers. Next round I worked 4 pattern repeats knit to marker, put gusset sts on a holder, cast on 4 sts, knit to end of the round. I continued working, for the first few rounds I didn't work the last 13sts in pattern, but on the 3rd or 4th rnd I did. I continued for the desired hand/palm length then worked several rnds in rib sts (k2tog on one sts to get an even number for the ribbing). Cast Off. For the thumb I put the gusset sts on needles, worked the 22sts then picked up 6sts along the cast on edge. Work 9 more rnds. Cast off. Voila! I love stripes!
