Finger Warmers

I made this pattern up when one of the elders from my church was teasing me about my fingerless hand mitts saying that i should just make some with out the palm and everything and just make the fingers from knuckle to knuckle, so I came home and made up a pattern!
When making up the pattern it took me about 2 hours to make 10 of them, but after i had the pattern down it only took me a few minutes to make each one.

Pictures are coming soon...

Materials:
Size 8 (5mm) straight needles
1 skien worsted weight yarn (I'm not sure exactly how much yarn is needed yet)

Cast 12 stitches

Row 1: *k2, p2* across
Row 2: Repeat row 1 across
Row 3: Knit across
Row 4: Purl across
Rows 5 & 6: Repeat rows 3 & 4
Rows 7 & 8: Repeat row 1 twice
(It should measure about 1 1/2" long)

Fold warmer with the right side facing you, and the edges lined up. Weave the warmer all the way up and then weave in yarn end.

Make as many as you want! They're quick and easy, so if you want to make 10 it doesn't take very long. You could even make a different color for each finger. This is a great way to used up scrap yarn!

Let me know if you have any questions or problems with the pattern.

My blog

I'm a junior in high school, and I LOVE to knit! So I started this blog just to post some of my knitting stuff. Hopefully someone will find it helpful and enjoy the things I post! I'm really bad at keeping up with this kind of stuff so who knows how much I'll be posting, but I'm hoping to do it often!

I started knitting in middle school and taught myself so some of the patterns I post might not be the best but I like them and hope you will too!

Enjoy!
