These are fair isle hand warmers that are simple to knit and are knit in the round. This is a great pattern for using up bits of yarn! I was inspired by the Shetland fair isle sweaters and some bits of yarn I had left over from another project.
The pattern includes sizes for small (6.5”/16.5cm), medium (8.5”/21.5cm), and large (10.5”/26.5cm), circumference around the knuckles for each size in brackets.
The pictures show the hand warmers using fingering weight yarn, Jamieson’s 2-Ply Spindrift (100% Shetland Wool), 25 grams/105 meters, in colours: Jade, Havana, Nighthawk, Granite, and Turf. However the pattern does not require four entire balls of this yarn, two would be plenty depending on the size.
Hope you enjoy the pattern! Happy knitting!

We are three sisters that love knitting!
Our Scottish grandmother taught us to knit when we were 5 and 7 years old and we have been knitting ever since. Over the years after adapting patterns and then designing various pieces Fiona realised that we should be making these new creations into patterns that can then be shared with others. All three of us have our own design styles and interests but love to help each other with these designs even though we have become geographically dispersed across Canada, England, and Scotland. In terms of knitting style we love natural fibers and colour! Fiona in particular has a thing for fair isle design and Hannah loves wildlife (birds in particular).
