The pattern is worked in the round using the magic loop method. Starting with the forearm section, you will knit in rounds until you reach your preferred length. You will then work increase rounds to accommodate the palm. Finally, the thumb will be separated from the main hand section and worked separately.

The pattern is written for three sizes, 1 (2) 3, to accommodate different hand widths. For length, additional instructions are provided throughout the pattern to help you adjust the hand warmers to your preferred fit. Please note that you may need more yarn than specified if you make these adjustments.

This pattern doesn't include specific instructions for colour changes, allowing you to customise your hand warmers in a solid colour, multicoloured striped, or a combination of two colours changed at any point.

YARN QUALITY

To make these hand warmers, you will need brushed alpaca yarn to achieve a soft, brushed look. However, mohair would also be a great alternative.
The green yarn is Rowan Alpaca Haze in Khaki (018), with two strands held together to achieve required gauge.
The burgundy yarn is Cloud Born Fibers Brushed Alpaca in Garnet Heather, with one strand used to achieve the required gauge.
