Sanae's Hand Warmers

Yup, this is using that Yarnspirations yarn again. Sanae saw me making hand warmers for other people and said "ooooh I want some!" And here they are. lol. Using that new dip stitch I kept seeing on IG reels and figured out VIA those reels.

I started this during Magfest, then took a break to figure out that IG hat pattern for Steph. At least it got done before winter is over. Hah. Made up the pattern-ish with my newfound stitch (the dip stitch). Because of the yarn dye pattern, it’s kind of hard to see though.

Knitting Notes:

Yarn: Loops & Threads - Impressions Color: Amethyst Weight: Bulky 5 (that’s what it says…it doesn’t seem that bulky to me though)
