Winters are hard on me because my hands and feet always get cold very easily. Nighttime can be especially challenging. I solved my cold feet issue with layers of socks and a warm rice bag (tutorial here). But my hands still get cold while reading in bed. I’ve always dreamed about having a long sleeve shirt or sweater that covered my hands. Finally, at the end of last year, I decided that it was time that I just made myself a long sleeve shirt with thumbhole cuffs.

For this hack, you can use any long sleeve shirt, dress or sweatshirt pattern that is designed for knit fabrics. You’ll want to use knit fabric with some stretch for this fabric so that your hands will be nice and comfy as you move about. Watch the video and then check out the diagrams for how I drafted these cuffs.
