Alpaca Hand Warmers Knitting Pattern
Keep hands warm while leaving fingers free with these practical ribbed hand warmers. Featuring a comfortable fitted shape, a neatly shaped thumb gusset, and textured garter stitch across the hand, this classic design is perfect for everyday wear during cooler months.
Worked seamlessly in the round on double-pointed needles, the hand warmers begin with a long 2×2 ribbed cuff before transitioning to garter stitch for the hand. A shaped thumb gusset provides a comfortable fit, while the ribbed thumb and cuff create a polished, professional finish.
Photographed in Alpaca Yarns Sox 6Ply EasyWash, offering warmth, durability, and excellent stitch definition.
