FO: Handwarmers for me!

These are my version of the pattern Evangeline! A free pattern found on MagKnits.


Check out this nifty feature. I can fold it back to wave my fingers!


Or cover them up when they get cold!


::Details::
Yarn: Cascade 220 - less than one skein
Needles: US #7 dpn
Colour: red

Modifications: I did three repeats of the cable pattern before the thumb and three repeats after thumb. I also added a few more rows of ribbing in the wrist, the fingers and the thumb.

Comments: The handwamers rock. The red makes me happy and I love how warm and functional they are. I was having issues with my tension working on dpns and with the cable pattern but it turned out alright in the end. The pattern goes fast. I think they would make great presents if you're stuck for ideas!
