Basic. Daisy Stitch. Houndstooth. Hello 2012! Let’s start you off right: With a free knitting pattern! These are some lovely little fingerless mitts I am very pleased with. They’re knitted in DK yarn which makes them both warm and super-quick to make. The yarn is Sirdar Balmoral (which is selling for a song over at Black Sheep Wools) but really, any lovely woolly DK yarn will do. The handwarmers have a proper thumb gusset so as to keep the pattern going over the entire main body. I’m also pleased with the resulting little faux-seam that forms where the increases are made. I’ve also used some fancy cast-on/offs here. As a bit of an experiment with pattern distribution, you can download the .pdf pattern for these handwarmers from two places: This blog - Or if you’re a Raveller, try this link: Houndstooth Handwarmers Pattern Information: Size: To fit an average women’s size hand (7.5” around the knuckles).
