Plain with Picots

These wrist warmers have a lovely victorian look.
However, they are very simple in construction and easy to knit ... basically only in 3p1 ribbing with a bit of garter stitch and picots on both ends.
This pattern is suited for beginners who would like to try Picot Cast-on and Picot Bind-Off.
