These gorgeous handwarmers feature a stunning honeycomb brioche pattern to give it a soft and squishy double layer to keep you extra warm. This pattern is designed to match with my Honeycomb Brioche Hat and Cowl and all are written especially for knitters new to brioche knitting with the instructions clear and simple to follow.

Size
These handwarmers have two sizes available. The smallest is designed to fit small to medium hands and the larger size to fit medium to large hands.

As the honeycomb stitch is quite a stretchy stitch, if you want a firm fit then do the smaller size.

Gauge
Knit in the round in Honeycomb brioche stitch, 18sts per 10cm/4” unstretched. As this stitch is quite stretchy the gauge can be tricky to measure. You will need to count over two rows to get the right number.

Yarn requirements
These handwarmers were designed especially for Skeinz Orb Merino due to its gorgeous texture and stitch definition. It is an 8ply/DK weight yarn and is 113m per 50gm.

Alternatively you can use any 8ply/ DK weight yarn you can get gauge with.

Smaller size: 160m/ 70gm
Larger size: 180m/ 80gm
