What is it? A mitten gone wrong?
No! It's a hand warmer for when you are surfing the web. My boyfriend always complained that his hand was cold when he was on the computer, so I was going to make him some fingerless mittens, but his fingers would still be cold. So I came up with a "hand blanket" of sorts. It has a ribbed cuff and then rows of garter stitch to form a blanket that goes over your hand to keep it warm while you are using a mouse. I know it's a strange idea, but he tried it out and likes it!!

The picture on the right is me using it.

If you would like to make one, here is what I did:
Yarn: Lamb's Pride Worsted-your choice of color
Needles: size 9 dpns

CO 36 stitches, divide onto 4 needles evenly (9 stitches per needle). Join in the round being careful not to twist.
Knit the first row.
Work k2, p2 rib for about 4 inches.
BO 17 stitches. You can switch to regular needles if you want (I kept mine on the dpns, just be careful your stitches do not slip off the end.)
Knit back and forth all remaining stitches in garter stitch until the length of the "blanket" is to the top of your hand. BO.

I could have made it a little wider, maybe only binding off 12 stitches or increasing a little and then decreasing to give it some shape. Next I will make Bob one in black with a skull and crossbones on it for when he is online gaming!
