Like all my winter accessories, my knit hand warmers were missing. It was a perfect chance to dig into my stash for a fast project. I really liked the Long Striped Hand Warmers by Whitney Van Nes from the Purl Bee. I was surprised at how fast this knit up. I used some Rowan Cashsoft that I had planned for Eunny Jang's Anemoi mittens. The Anemoi mittens was a sad failed project. I had knit up the first mitten, but it was huge and I had made the small size on smaller needles than the pattern asked for. I didn't have the patience to start over again after frogging.
For the hand warmers, I cast on 52 stitches and knit until 5” before starting the thumb. For the gusset, I k27 on both sides before and after the markers for the first round. I knit 4 rounds for the right thumb length. I really like the color combination of the terracotta orange and the tan.
I also can't find my beret, stay tuned for a beret project...
