Outlander Claire’s Cable Knit Arm Warmers

The Outlander Claire’s cable knit arm warmers pattern will allow you to create a large twisted cabled cuff in an intricate design.

I wanted to share with you another free knitting pattern that has been inspired by the TV show Outlander.

This is the eighth pattern in my Outlander collection, you can see the first – the Fraser’s Ridge flat knit fingerless mittens here.

Outlander

If you have been watching the Outlander TV series, through all of the seasons, Claire has worn fingerless gloves and wrist warmers.

The wrist warmers that inspired this design were knit in a dark grey yarn, so I chose a similar shade in an acrylic/natural wool blend.

The cabled cuff is at the top of the wrist warmers, with a stockinette body, and a ribbed design at the bottom.

Outlander Claire’s Hand Knit Arm Warmers

Inspired by Claire Fraser wearing beautiful knitted pieces, the arm warmers are knit both flat and in the round.

The cabled cuff is made separately from the arm length, it is knit flat and then stitches are picked up around the cuff to begin the arm section.

The cabled cuffs are slightly different from the image above, with a smaller cable design.

Cable Knitting

This pattern is for intermediate knitters, as the cable stitch is a little bit more complicated.

The cable itself is made only on the cuffs, knit flat and then seamed.

Once the cuff has been completed and seamed, you then pick up and knit stitches to start knitting the length of the arm warmer in stocking stitch.

Outlander Knitting Patterns

Whenever I watch Outlander I just love to look at the costumes and see how beautifully they are pieced together.

Claire and Brianna’s costumes have motivated many knitters to make shawls, infinity scarves, and more throughout the four seasons that have aired so far.

I wanted to make a collection of knits that are inspired by both Claire and her daughter Brianna, from gloves, wristwarmers and scarves.
