Sun Sleeves

 

Construction

Worked from the wrist to the elbow in the round with increase striping in between. (If you do not need to increase as much for the upper forearm, simply work a plain striping row without any increases or work the hurdles longer.

Size

wrist: 3"; upper forearm: 5.5"; length: 13"

See Tips on how to easily customize the fit. 

Hurdles is a rib-type pattern meaning is has natural stretch to it, so even though the fiber doesn't really stretch, the fabric will.
