MATERIALS

  • 1 skein of Koigu’s KPM, 100% Merino Wool. This color is #2390.5. 7 skeins of Koigu’s KPM Needlepoint Yarn, 100% Merino Wool. From the top, I used one skein of #0, two skeins of #2100, and one skein of each of the following: #2335, #2200, #1155, and #1110. In the pattern I call these colors: WHITE, YELLOW, OLIVE, ORANGE, PINK, and RUST.
  • A size D (3.25 mm) crochet hook

NOTES ON THE MATERIALS:

  • To make a pair of basic hand warmers without stripes you only need one skein of the KPM. You could also use 1 skein of the KPM Needlepoint Yarn to crochet the hand warmers together with a contrasting color.
  • To create your own stripe patterns keep in mind that each skein of KPM Needlepoint Yarn makes 7 rows as long as you don’t cut extravagant tails. Keep them about 2 inches long to be on the safe side.
