Product Description
The Salthill Wristwarmers take their name from the popular Galway suburb and resort, Salthill. Salthill is famous for its long promenade by the sea, perfect for a soothing or bracing walk – depending on the weather! These wristwarmers are the perfect accessory for those colder and windier days – particularly if you also have a Salthill Beanie!
The wristwarmers come in three different widths and lengths, and you can mix and match to create just the right size for you. Any Aran yarn should be suitable for this pattern, 5 mm needles/US8 and 5.5mm needles/US9 are recommended (either circular needles or double-pointed needles), but there is some leeway given that Aran yarns can vary a little in thickness.
The cabling pattern is not overly complicated, but there is some adjusting of the stitch marker to ensure that the cabling pattern stays seamless throughout. I would consider this a pattern suitable for intermediate knitters.

What Is Being Made
The Salthill Wristwarmers are a knitted accessory designed to keep your wrists warm during cold and windy weather. Named after the popular Galway suburb and seaside resort of Salthill, these wristwarmers pair perfectly with outdoor activities like coastal promenades or bracing walks. They are available in three sizes—Small, Medium, and Large—with customizable width and length combinations to suit individual preferences and fit requirements.
Sizing Options
The Salthill Wristwarmers offer flexible sizing to accommodate different wrist circumferences and desired lengths:
- Small: 5½ inches (14cm) circumference, 5½ inches (14cm) length
- Medium: 7 inches (18cm) circumference, 8 inches (20cm) length with cuff unfolded
- Large: 8½ inches (22cm) circumference, 11 inches (28cm) length
Knitters can mix and match width and length options to create personalized combinations that best suit their individual needs.
Knitting Techniques and Stitches
The Salthill Wristwarmers are constructed using fundamental knitting techniques suitable for intermediate-level crafters. The pattern employs circular needles or double-pointed needles to create seamless, tubular wristwarmers. A stitch marker is used to track the beginning of rounds during the knitting process, helping maintain consistent stitch placement and pattern alignment throughout the project.

To complete the Salthill Wristwarmers, you will need the following materials and tools:
- Yarn: Aran or worsted weight yarn in quantities of 150g for Small, 100g for Medium, and 100g for Large (approximately 70–140 metres or 77–154 yards total)
- Needles: 5mm circular needles or double-pointed needles (US 8) and 5.5mm circular needles or double-pointed needles (US 9)

The pattern was designed by Máirín Ní Dhonncha and is available through AranAccessories.
