Stitch patterns
K1 p2 twisted ribbing: *p1, k1 through back loop, p1*, repeat *-* to end of row. K1 p1 twisted ribbing: *k1 through back loop, p1*, repeat *-* to end of row. Cable knitting: follow the chart and instructions.
Gauge 28 sts of cable stitch = 10 cm
Right arm warmer
Cast on 78 sts and divide them onto four needles: 19 sts on needles I and III, 20 sts on needles II and IV. The beginning of round is between needles I and IV. Begin k1, p2 twisted ribbing: *p1, k1 through back loop, p1*, repeat *-*.
When the piece measures 12 cm, begin the cable pattern on row 1 of the chart: work 12 sts in twisted ribbing, work cable pattern A (18 sts), work twisted ribbing to end. Work rows 2-28 of the chart, then keep repeating rows 1-28.
When the piece measures 18 cm, on the next round decrease 10 sts at the purl stripes: *p1, k1 through back loop, p2tog, k1 through back loop, p1*, repeat *-* once more, work next 18 sts in cable pattern, repeat *-* 8 times = 68 sts.
When the piece measures 28 cm, on the next round decrease 9 sts at the purl stripes: p1, k1 through back loop, p1, k1 through back loop, p2tog, *k1 through back loop, p1*, repeat *-* once more. Work next 18 sts in cable pattern. P1, *k1 through back loop, p1, k1 through back loop, p2tog*, repeat *-* 6 more times, k1 through back loop, p1, k1 through back loop, purl together the last st and the first st of the next round = 59 sts. The beginning of round is now here.
After you have completed rows 1-28 twice and then worked rows 1-19 once more, on the next round begin increases for the thumb gusset:
Increase round 1: work 8 sts in twisted ribbing, 18 sts in cable pattern, 7 sts in twisted ribbing, increase 1 purl st (purl the strand of yarn between the sts through the back loop), k1 through back loop, increase 1 purl st and work twisted ribbing to end of round. 2 sts increased, 3 sts in the thumb gusset. Work 1 round even, purling the increased sts.
Increase round 2: work 8 sts in twisted ribbing, 18 sts in cable pattern, 7 sts in twisted ribbing, increase 1 knit st (knit the strand of yarn between the sts through the back loop), p1, k1 through back loop, p1, increase 1 knit st and work twisted ribbing to end of round. 2 sts increased, 5 sts in the thumb gusset. Work 1 round even, knitting the increased sts through the back loop.
There are 2 more sts in the thumb gusset after each increase round. Work the increased sts in twisted ribbing. Repeat the increases 7 more times. 19 sts in the thumb gusset.
On the next round leave the 19 thumb gusset sts on hold and cast on 1 st in their place = 59 sts.
Note: After you have completed rows 1-28 three times in total and then worked rows 1-19 once more, on the next round decrease 1 st at each 2 st purl stripe in the cable pattern by p2tog. 7 sts decreased, 52 sts on the needles.
Work k1 p1 twisted ribbing until you have knitted for 8 cm after the thumb gusset.
Bind off in pattern.

Cast on 78 sts and divide them onto four needles: 20 sts on needles I and III, 19 sts on needles II and IV. The beginning of round is between needles I and IV. Begin k1, p2 twisted ribbing: *p1, k1 through back loop, p1*, repeat *-*.
When the piece measures 12 cm, begin the cable pattern on row 1 of the chart: work 48 sts in twisted ribbing, work cable pattern B (18 sts), work twisted ribbing to end. Work rows 2-28 of the chart, then keep repeating rows 1-28.
When the piece measures 18 cm, on the next round decrease 10 sts at the purl stripes: *p1, k1 through back loop, p2tog, k1 through back loop, p1*, repeat *-* 7 more times, work next 18 sts in cable pattern, repeat *-* 2 times = 68 sts.
When the piece measures 28 cm, on the next round decrease 9 sts at the purl stripes: p1, *k1 through back loop, p1, k1 through back loop, p2tog*, repeat *-* 6 more times, k1 through back loop, p1, k1 through back loop, p1. Work next 18 sts in cable pattern. P1, k1 through back loop, p1, k1 through back loop, p2tog, p1, k1 through back loop, p1, k1 through back loop, purl together the last st and the first st of the next round = 59 sts. The beginning of round is now here.
After you have completed rows 1-28 twice and then worked rows 1-19 once more, on the next round begin increases for the thumb gusset:
Increase round 1: work 24 sts in twisted ribbing, increase 1 purl st (purl the strand of yarn between the sts through the back loop), k1 through back loop, increase 1 purl st, work 7 sts in twisted ribbing, work 18 sts in cable pattern, work twisted ribbing to end of round. 2 sts increased, 3 sts in the thumb gusset. Work 1 round even, purling the increased sts.
Increase round 2: work 24 sts in twisted ribbing, increase 1 knit st (knit the strand of yarn between the sts through the back loop), p1, k1 through back loop, p1, increase 1 knit st, work 7 sts in twisted ribbing, work 18 sts in cable pattern, work twisted ribbing to end of round. 2 sts increased, 5 sts in the thumb gusset.

Work k1 p1 twisted ribbing until you have knitted for 8 cm after the thumb gusset.
Bind off in pattern.
Thumb
Place the 19 thumb sts back on the needles and pick up 1 additional st from the edge. Divide the sts onto three needles: 7 sts on needles I and II, 6 sts on needle III. Work k1 p1 twisted ribbing in the round until the thumb measures 3 cm. Bind off in pattern.
Finishing
Steam and shape.
Fold the top and bottom edge of the arm warmers.
