Living on the North Coast of Northern Ireland we are now officially the set of Game of Thrones. Inspired by this I have designed two free patterns. Game of Thrones Handwarmers and Winterfell Shawl enjoy knitting them.
Game of Throne Hand Warmers

To make larger just increase the number of stitches before the pattern.

To Make Up
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE REVERSE SIDE OF YOUR WORK WILL BE THE RIGHT SIDE WHEN YOU MAKE UP.
With wrong side facing pick up 30 stitches along the top edge of the glove.
Knit two rows
Cast off as follows

Transfer the stitch from the right needle to the left needle and then repeat ( )
