These cabled hand warmers knit up really fast with an after thought thumb and fleece lining added for extra warmth.
A simple 1 x1 ribbing could be added at cuff and top to give a more finished look - I was in a rush to complete for St. Patrick’s Day parade!
Also, there is enough yarn in 1 skein of Anchor Bay to make them a little longer.

Materials

  • 1 skein of Cascade Yarns Anchor Bay
