How warm are they? They don't look so warm to me.
ReplyDeleteI'm not honestly sure how to answer this? They don't have holes in them, the yarn is fairly thick, they are comfortable and I've had three people tell me that they think they look warm and feel warm (one being the person who modeled them for me).
DeleteThe pattern is free... so you're welcome to make them and find out for yourself.
They look gorgeous and warm. I have some think knit ones. Several pair and even they keep my hands warm during cold Pennsylvania winters. I cant wait to try these out.
ReplyDeleteI've learned how to knit a little, not very well though. I hope the pattern works well for you. One lady who tried it said the hook listed turned out a bit big. I have a tight tension so mine turned out the perfect size.
DeleteHave fun!
The thumb hole part confuses me. Shouldn't it be only for round 15 then 16-18 be all Sc?
ReplyDeleteNo, that is correct. You do the CH for a few rows and then on the last row you will sc down around all of them which creates the butterfly stitch. :)
DeleteWould these work for an adult or child?
ReplyDeleteThey are for adults.
