Forest Handwarmers

Introducing our stunning Fair Isle handwarmers, designed to bring warmth and style to your chilly days! These lovely handwarmers feature a beautiful forest-themed Fair Isle design around the knuckles, making them not only practical but also a true fashion statement. The simple ribbing around the wrists, knuckles, and thumb hole ensures a comfortable fit, perfect for everyday wear.

This project is ideal for those new to Fair Isle knitting. With an easy-to-follow Fair Isle chart that covers a small section of the handwarmers, you can master this technique without feeling overwhelmed. The pattern allows for no more than two different colors to be worked per round, making it a perfect beginner-friendly project that will help you build confidence in your knitting skills.

The handwarmers are knit in the round using 4mm (6 US) double-pointed needles, providing a seamless finish. The pattern offers instructions for two sizes, catering to a variety of preferences and hand sizes, with blocked measurements around the knuckles of 7 inches and 8.5 inches.

For this project, we recommend using Willow & Lark Woodland yarn, which is DK weight and composed of 50% wool, 25% alpaca, and 25% viscose. Each skein contains 50 grams and 175 meters (191 yards) of yarn, ensuring you have plenty for this project. Suggested color combinations include:

• 1 Oxford Navy (Colour A)
• 1 Cherry (Colour B)
• 1 Rolled Oats (Colour C)

With endless color combinations to choose from, you can truly personalize these handwarmers to match your unique style! The pattern includes a detailed chart for the Fair Isle section, guiding you step-by-step to achieve the best results.

We hope you enjoy creating these beautiful Fair Isle handwarmers as much as we enjoyed designing them! Happy knitting!
