About the Pattern
The Warm Hearts Warm Hands pattern is designed with a provisional cast-on for each side of the double knit. These cast-on edges are then combined and double knitting begins.Working from the charted instructions you create a heart shape on both the inside and outside of the muff. Once you are finished double knitting, each side of the double knitting will be grafted together individually using Kitchener stitch to create A reversible fabric tube.
