Chunky Cable Wrist Warmers

This started out as a water bottle cozy but field testing found it unsatisfactory for that purpose.  However, when I knit a second one, I had a pair of really nice wrist warmers.  They should look awesome peeking out of the cuff of my jean jacket.  These work up very quickly for some fun instant gratification.  Hope you enjoy it.  PDF available here.
