Super Quick and Easy Knit Handwarmers Pattern

Here they are..... the easiest and quickest knit handwarmers ever!  I've seen so many fun handwarmers out there and wanted to come up with a free pattern that would be great for beginners (and fun for more experienced) knitters.  Seriously.... knit this up during nap time!  Handwarmers are perfect because you can still easily drive, push strollers, zip coats, buckle seat belts and carseats, tie shoelaces..... oh yes, and text of course (but not while driving).  

I knitted these up as part of luvinthemommyhood's Warm Up to Winter Knit Along (which ends this Sunday so hurry!).  Come check out this fun Knit Along....

Size

This size is for a female and I'd say would fit S/M/L - it's so stretchy.  To adjust a size up or down, just add or subtract 2 stitches from the 16 CO stitches and adjust the length as necessary as you go along
