PURPLE HAZE HANDWARMERS
This is my second entry for the Ravelympics2010 Designer Pattern challenge. It is a really simple pattern, and a quick knit. I hope you enjoy making a pair!

Cast on 24 sts on size 10 US needles
K2, P2 cuff for 2 inches
Next round: Knit every round (stockinette stitch) until you reach to base of thumb.
Next round: k1 then knit 6 sts onto waste yarn, go back and knit the 6 sts with project yarn.
Continue knitting every round until you reach desired length and bind off.
Pick up 14 sts on thumb (pulling out waste yarn and picking up 1 st between to close gap).
Knit 1 round, then t2tog twice on palm side of thumb.
Continue knitting around thumb to desired length and bind off
(I use the Russian bind off to make it more elastic. Russian bind off: k1, ** slip knit stitch back to left needle and k2tog; repeat from ** to last stitch and cut yarn leaving a long enough tail to weave in and pull through last stitch. Weave in ends)
Optional: Crochet a picot edging around hand opening with size H crochet hook.
Repeat for second handwarmer & enjoy!
