Warm Hands Warm Heart

Well, here they are, the hand warmers for birthday presents for three lovely girls. I had a huge (and I mean huge) ball of cream DK yarn which was very easy to work with.

The pattern for the hand warmers is a basic 3k 3p rib, casting on 42 stitches and knitting until the work measures 20cms.  After casting off, put the two long sides together and sew up, leaving a gap of 3-4cms or so for your thumb, 4cms from the top.   Knit two of these.  The flowers were made from oddments from previous projects in colours that I felt went well together, using the pattern found here Simple flower This really is a simple pattern but so effective, and versatile, as you’ll see from other knitters’ comments.
