Kid's Wristwarmers

I took a little break from J's cardigan this weekend to work on a couple of smaller projects. I made a pair of fingerless gloves/wristwarmers for the 5-year old. He loves them! I used some inexpensive Lion Brand and Bernat yarns in bright red and blue stripes. He's been wearing them pretty much nonstop since I finished. Actually, see how one looks wider than the other? That's because after I finished the first one he wore it and played like crazy, stretching it out a bit. I can tell these will get alot of wear. This is a pattern I worked up very loosely based on the structure of the Fetching wristwarmers. I just cast on 30 stitches, did a k4 p1 rib until the spot where I wanted the thumb, and made the thumb 4 stitches instead of the 7 indicated in the adult size. I also finished one of the adult size black ones for J, and hope to complete the 2nd one in the next couple of days.
