Wrist warmers are a good way to start if you are new to knitting. They don’t take as much time because they usually are only 4 inches long serving as cuffs in the wintertime. These are more involved as they have knitted wool on the edge, but the beading is something manageable for a beginner! Wrist warmers are very traditional examples of Scandinavian knitting, but can also be found in the traditional clothing of the Sami and the Inuit tribes.
