These are pocket hand warmers. You put them in the microwave for 20 seconds, then put them in your pockets to keep your hands warm.
I got the pattern here: http://www.thesewingrepublic.com/pro...etHandWarmers/
You can make a pair of these in less than an hour. The pattern as written is big enough for a child or a woman's hands, but for larger hands, I made them a little bigger. The main squares are 6 1/2-inches square, and the pocket rectangle is 6 1/2 x 10 inches. Then I added 3/4 cup of rice instead of 1/2 cup.
I'm making three more pairs. One for each of my boys, one for my husband, one for my DIL, one for my walking buddy, and one for me!

Thanks for the information.
