Slip Stitch Hand Warmers

Mittens and gloves do keep your hands warm, (barely) but they enclose your fingertips to make fine motor-control and touch screen interface next to impossible. Fingerless gloves are the easiest solution, and Slip Stitch Hand Warmers are the perfect example of this. This intermediate knitting pattern can be a bit tricky around the thumb, but your freezing hands will thank you later for these knit hand warmers when the evening chill in your bedroom comes back and you're still surfing the web or reading a book.
