Loooooooooove them. So cute. I made something like these once (not as nice as these) and wore them out of the country, and people thought they were these really expensive things. I loooove the look you made.

Thank you, they're really easy to make, the important thing is to find a beautiful yarn!
Thank you so much, i really appreciate your comment.
All the best,
Marta
One skein? Or a skosh more?
I've used almost one skein, 50g/150m.
Thanks! I plan to get some pretty yarn today.
They're really cute.
From the pictures, it looks more like a wavy stitch than a DC... So DC CAN be wavy stitches in disguise! Good job!
Soleil
Thank you so much!
I think that it seems a wavy stitch because of the different shades of the yarn, maybe a monochrome yarn won't make this effect..you've got a great look,i didn't saw this detail!
thanks a lot again!

I've made a correction:
on the cuff's scalloped edge, you have to make 5dc instead of 4!
It's not so important, but can make a difference!
thanks everybody!

Really lovely handwarmers Marta. Could I ask exactly what yarn you used as love the colour too
I LOVE this pattern. I just made a pair for my daughter and she modeled them for me.
I made them with hand dyed flannel I bought on eBay. Since she likes her handwarmers tight at the wrist, I modified the pattern a little and added a flap so it could be stitched together tighter. I left the flap to the outside and added 3 buttons - they are just for show.

They are so lovely!
I like the buttons, i was designing another pair of handwarmers with buttons and ruffles..
I'm so happy you've enjoyed my pattern, thank you very very much!

How cute ! I plan on doing them, but i have questions. From the photo, your wrists seem thiner than mine ^^; What's the diameter once finished ? Do you think i could add stitches to enlarge them a little (how many and where) ?

Thank you a lot !
