These handwarmers are my favourites and I have knitted them several times. I used Drops Alpaca yarn and 3 mm double-pointed needles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is my pattern of Drops Alpaca handwarmers :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Handwarmers on double-pointed needles<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drops Alpaca, 3mm double-pointed needles<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

100g Drops Alpaca yarn<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3mm double-pointed needles<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crochet hook<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stitch markers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sewing needle<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Cast on 60 stitches on 3mm double-pointed needles. (You can start on one needle, purl 1 row.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Purl three, knit two* and divide the stitches on four needles. (15 stitches on each needle) Start knitting on four needles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Left-hand handwarmer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Purl 3, Knit 2; continue this pattern until the piece measures 9 cm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decrease 1 at every purl-stitch rib (purl 2 together); the pattern will be: purl 2, knit 2. (12 stitches on each needle; you have decreased 12 stitches in one row)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start increasing the thumb at the 15th-16th stitches (the 4th rib from the start of the row): yarn over on both sides of the knit-stitch rib. In the next row, knit these yarn overs twisted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Continue increasing until you have 16 stitches for the thumb section, then place them onto a piece of yarn using a crochet hook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Continue knitting the rib pattern and cast on\/increase two stitches at the back of the thumb. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knit 7 cms from the start of the back of the thumb. In the last 2 rows, just knit; do not continue the rib stitch. Cast off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thumb: place the 16 stitches on two needles, cast on five stitches at the back of the thumb, divide the stitches on three needles evenly, knit five rows and cast off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knit the right-hand handwarmer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knit as above; the difference is that you start increasing the thumb part at the 35th-36th stitches. (4th rib from the end of the row)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
