These are festive handwarmers that are perfect for the winter season and have beautiful snowflake fair isle detail. There is simple ribbing around the wrists, knuckles, and thumb hole.

This is a great fair isle beginner project with the simple fair isle chart worked for only around the knuckles with no more than two different colours worked per round.

The handwarmers are knit in the round with 3mm (2.5US) double pointed needles. The pattern includes instructions for two sizes, with blocked measurements around the knuckles of 7” (18cm) and 9” (23cm).

The sample is knit with Drops Alpaca (sport weight; 100% alpaca), 50 grams/167meters (183 yards), in:

1 ball of Maroon Mix (3650)
1 ball of Light Grey (0501)

There are endless potential great colour combinations and other types of yarn that would suite this pattern!

The pattern includes a chart for the fair isle section of the handwarmer.

Hope you enjoy the pattern! Happy knitting!
