TWO VERSIONS are included in this design.

VERSION 1: The bulk of the knitting is done in the round, & a thumb hole is created by (easily) switching to knitting back & forth, before joining in the round again to finish.

VERSION 2: Knit FLAT & seamed.

Also available on Etsy

The stitch patterns in this design combine well, & quickly work together to produce a lovely, textured pattern that is also a great stashbuster, gift ‘go to’, & ‘on the go’ knitting project.

This design evolved from some of my other designs, & was mostly inspired by my ENCORE collection. The stretchy nature of the resulting fabric, means that the handwarmers are designed to be worn with negative ease & blocking is not essential to the fit.

SIZING is based around the following HAND MEASUREMENTS & the working instructions are suitable for whatever method you prefer to use when knitting in the round.

SIZE 1: 17cm/6.7’’
SIZE 2: 19cm/7.5’’
SIZE 3: 21cm/8.3’

This is also an easy pattern to adapt size wise, & guidelines for doing so are given in the pattern.
