Thumb Hole

NOTE: For the Thumb Hole, you will work back and forth in rows, turning the work between each row, as you would a flat piece of knitting. Work the stitches on the double pointed needles just as they are, moving from one needle to the next.

Row 1 (wrong side): Purl to end of round, turn work.

Row 2 (right side): Knit to end of round, turn work.

Repeat Rows 1 and 2 – (4, 5, 6, 7) more times, until Thumb Hole measures – (1¼, 1½, 1¾, 2) inches, ending with a right-side row.

Hand

NOTE: For the Hand you will work in the round again with the outside of the piece (i.e. the knit side) facing you.

Joining Round: With the right side facing you, place a marker and connect the two sides of the Thumb Hole by using the working yarn to knit into the next stitch, then knit to end of round.

Continue in stockinette stitch until piece measures – (10, 11, 12, 13) inches from cast-on edge, or until desired length to top of Hand.

Bind off loosely.

Finish Thumb Hole

With Color A and beginning with stitch to the right of Thumb Hole top, pick up and knit – (20, 24, 28, 32) stitches around Thumb Hole.

Join for working in the round, and knit 1 round.

Loosely bind off knitwise.

Make a second hand warmer identical to the first.

Weave in remaining ends and block as desired.
