This is a universal pattern suitable for any yarn weight and needle size that works for you. It doesn't show in the picture, but these are heel less warmers. With the heel uncovered a softer yarn can be used without the worry of instant holes.
This pattern should be knit with a good firm ribbing that has a lot of stretch and retraction. Go down a size or two in needles if you need to get a good elastic effect. I knit the sample pair with a yarn that had a silk content. I don’t think that should be done again. A nice worsted wool with some stretch to it might work better. These fit great, but I do find that after a few wearings they start to stay stretched out, which I believe is due to the silk and alpaca.
