After seeing these in Knitty, I knew I’d have to make a pair. A girl needs something to keep her hands warm when the office is 55 degrees!

I wasn’t sure I’d have enough yarn using one ball of Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran. Turns out it was very, very close! When the pattern says you’ll need to use the gauge swatch in order to finish with one ball, it’s not kidding. I had about a yard of yarn left over total, all in pieces 4-6″ long left over from weaving in my ends. (i must confess, i didn’t even make a gauge swatch for this project!)

Project notes:

Pattern - Fetching from Knitty

Yarn - 1 ball Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran in gray

Needles - Size 6 dpns

Modifications - I didn’t do the picot cast off from the pattern. In various pictures I saw, I thought it made the finished edge look messy. I used a plain old cast off, in pattern.

Thoughts - A quick, easy project. I finished these in under four hours total, over two nights of watching movies.
