Project: Handwarmers!
Yarn:Half a skein Malabrigo Worsted
Gauge: 4-5 sts in St st on size 9 needles
Needles: Size US 8 straight
Notions: A yarn needle, and any other buttons, beads or ribbons you might choose to add.
CO 30 stitches, leaving a tail of several inches for seaming
Next row : *K2, P2* until last two stitches, k to end.
Continue in *K2, P2* ribbing pattern for 9 more rows (ten rows total)
Change to St st (knit one row, purl the next) for 30 rows
Switch back to the K2,P2 rib for 10 rows and bind off, leave a tail of several inches for seaming.
FINISHING
This part involves some math. the ribbing at the bottom should end just before your hand starts to curve out. Seam all the way up until just below your thumb. End here and tie it off. Then you will seam from the top down to the curve between your thumb and index finger. This created the thumb hole.
I hope these directions are okay. This is my first pattern I've ever tried to write out. Let me know if there's anything I should have, or anything I don't need or if I have a mistake.
I'm sorry I don't have any pictures to put up, I hopefully will soon. Also I'll post a drawing (is schematic the right word? for measuring and seaming as soon as I can!
