Snowdrops & Hellebores
Delight in the cozy charm of these hand warmers, the perfect blend of warmth and style. They are worked flat and then seamed together to produce an opening for the thumb. The fun-to-work textured stitch patterning forms the roots of the hand embroidery flowers. Chosen to represent their hardiness during the cold weather months, snowdrops and hellebores grace the back of each hand, providing a perfect way to showcase your creativity or to follow the given templates.
