Emerald Green Handwarmers

Another pair!
I know, i'm obsessed by handwarmers..but i really love them!
These are in a beautiful emerald green Merinos extrafine wool, soft and cozy.
The pattern? A sudden inspiration, that i've obviously wrote down to share..every girl should have a pair of this!

Materials:
One ball 100% Merinos wool extrafine (50g/135m) Emerald Green
4.00mm Straight Needles

Abbreviations:
k = knit
p = purl
st/sts = stitch/stitches

Moss stitch:
Row1: *k1,p1*
Row2: *p1,k1*

Stockinette stitch:
Row1: knit across
Row2: purl across

Double Moss stitch:
Row1-2: *k1,p1*
Row3-4: *p1,k1*

Handwarmers (make two!):
Cast on 34 sts.
Work in Moss st for 3 Rows.
Work in Stockinette st for 12 Rows (you should end up with a purl row).
Start with Double Moss stitch, and repeat the pattern rows 6 times, ending with row4.
Work 4 Rows in Stockinette st and then 3 more rows in Moss st.
Bind off loosely in Moss st using a 5.00mm needle.

Finishing:
Fold in half the piece and sew sides:
from top down 2cm.
from bottom up 8cm
leaving 3,5cm open for thumb hole.

Was just wondering- what kind of stitch do you recommend for sewing the sides together? I'm trying to figure out what will "blend in" with the pattern. Thanks so much!

Hi Faith!
I've used the mattress stitch for sewing the edges..
They'll look perfect!

I feel like an idiot...I started knitting these on dpns before I realized you knit them flat... *shrugs* They don't look any different than your's so far, so I'm not stopping now, haha!

I just want to say thanks for putting up such lovely patterns for free.

I am a fairly new knitter so I am always a bit daunted by a lot of patterns I would like to try.

But your handwarmers are quite simple and totally gorgeous, I am excited to try them out!

Thanks again!

Hi! My name is Sara, and I live in Athens, Georgia. I made a pair of these in dove grey and beaded the tops for my mother as a birthday gift. She loved them so much, and I just wanted to thank you for posting the pattern. It was simple, and they were a joy to make.
