Hand warmers, fingerless gloves<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, I\u2019m sharing what I have been knitting lately: hand warmers of woollen yarn: Drops Fabel, Alpaca, and Karisma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These fingerless gloves are useful: They keep your hands warm when you are out walking, gardening, travelling, or shopping. They don\u2019t cover your fingers, so you can use your phone and have a better grip on your bag or card. They are useful when inside, at home, reading, or working in a colder room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hand warmers are a perfect personal and unique gift for your family and loved ones. It only takes a couple of hours to make them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can read the description of the pattern of beginner-friendly, easy-to-make hand warmers below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For beginners, I recommend a thicker type of yarn, woollen or more than 50% woollen yarn, and matching needles. I usually knit them with five needles, but if you want to start in an easy way, use the usual knitting needles (knit on two needles).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Measurements: Length: 23cm<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Circumference: 16 cm; it feels comfortable on my hand, 19,5 cm in circumference<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginner-friendly hand warmers knitted with 2 needles (the thumb part on 3+1 double-pointed needles)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Material: Drops Karisma (100% wool), needles: 4 mm \/ US 6<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Left hand:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cast on 44 stitches<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Purl one row<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knit 3, purl one on the right side\/ purl 3, knit one on the wrong side of your work till you reach the desired length (10 cm).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start knitting the thumb part in the row:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Place a marker at the 13th stitch. Increase one stitch on both sides of the 3-knit stitch rib by yarn over on the wrong side and knit twisted on the yarn-overs on the right side. (you\u2019ll have 5, 7, 11, 13 stitches for the thumb).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you have 13 extra stitches, set them aside by putting them on a piece of yarn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Continue with your rows. You\u2019ll have 2 purl stitches behind the thumb part. You can continue without making an increase (for the 3 stitches that now belong to the thumb part).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knit till you reach the desired length (whole length: 23 cm)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Purl one row on the wrong side of the piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cast off and sew together the long side of the piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To finish the thumb part, place the 13 stitches on 2 double-pointed needles, cast on 6 stitches at the back of the thumb part, knit 4 rows, and cast off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right hand: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knit a similar piece; the only difference is that the thumb part starts at stitch 30. Place a marker and increase with a yarn over on the wrong side of the piece on both sides of the 3-knit stitch rib.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
