Basic Hand Warmers

My new favourite clothing item has got to be the handwarmers I have been making. Have made some for family and friends and everyone is loving them. I'm far too lazy to read a pattern for something simple like this so I made it up as I went and this is my refined, speedy pattern.

You'll need:
4.5mm hook
4mm hook
8 ply wool

(UK stitch terms)
Row 1 
ch32 on a 4.5mm hook then switch to a 4mm hook and slip stitch the chain ends together.

Row 2
ch2 and half treble (htr) around. You can do it in the round with 1 continuous stitch if you like or you can join each row and chain 2 to go up to the next row. 

I do about 11 or 12 rows, depending on how long you want them up the arm, then on the 12th row, you want to half treble a few stitches then ch6, skip 6 stitches and carry on htr for rest of row... That creates the thumb hole. Then continue and do about 6 more rows of half treble above the thumb hole (the first time I pass over those chains, I usually dc in them to make them a stronger spot)... Then for the last finishing row I dc all around and slip stitch to finish.
