Warm hands for Kris By Beth (aka big geek) I "met" Kris (http://obsessiveknitting.blogspot.com) about 4 years ago through blogging. We like to exchange gifts thru out the year. I am always trying to find something she can't find in Norway so I thought why not spin her up some yarn and make up a pattern! She says she is always cold at work and these fit the bill. She said I could share this with all of you. (Isn't she sweet!) Make them for your friends! They are quick and easy. I didn't really do a gauge swatch but it would work with any worsted weight yarn. Give it a shot! Materials: Needles: 4 US 7 Double Pointed needles, approx 200 or less yards of worsted weight yarn.
