Finally released to the wild ...... Easy Kids Hand Warmers


Yes, after extensive testing and edits I have produced my first knitting pattern!

Easy Kids Hand Warmers

It's blurb:

This is a quick basic knit pattern to fit 1 - 5 year olds and can be easily adapted to ones uniqueness with addition of different colour yarns, cables, increasing ribbing / stocking stitch length, embellishments or addition of different stitches. It can either be knit in the round or flat then seamed and what better way to use up extra bits of yarn, or keep the kids that extra bit warm in winter.

To mark its release and the relaunch of Sams Snippets, i'm running a wee competition:

- Knit a pair of Easy Kids Hand Warmers by 1st June 2010
- Upload to Ravelry with "Entering Sams Snippets Competition" in the project details
- Winner will be chosen by the design team based on uniqueness and over all style

........ then your in to win! .. win what I hear you ask .... well i'm making up a wee Yarn Lovers Goodies Basket which i will share the details with you in the coming weeks ... so stay updated - good luck!

HI I just want to say how much I enjoyed making these little hand warmers. I could not believe how small they are, (I have forgotten how tiny little ones hands are) Anyhow I had great fun making them. I had been unwell for a couple of weeks and wanted something easy to make and they were perfect. Thank you so much for the pattern. Question would you mind if I sell some of mine I only had one great granddaughter and don't think she will be able to wear all the ones I am making Thanks again for the amazing pattern. Oh yeah I live in Paraparaumu on the Kapiti Coast. II am just now getting into natural wool's etc.
