The first pattern is from Fiddlesticks Knitting, called One-Ball Warmers. There are 4 options with this pattern. Clockwise from the upper left, they are Diamond Warmer, Flared Warmer, Collar Warmer and Leaf Warmer. I currently have both the diamond and flared warmers under consideration.
For one of these warmers I knit, I will be using a beautiful laceweight cashmere yarn. I wish I had more of it. It's really lovely, but I've got barely enough to eke out one warmer, and I have at least two of something to knit.Another that I was thinking about is the Maluka, by Bea Schmidt Designs and available as a free download on Ravelry. I saw this one knit by remcat (aka Remily Knits). She was kind enough to allow me to post a photo of her completed Maluka. Isn't it beautiful?

These are all beautiful - I think my favorite style is the red one. :)
I think the flared one is the one I would do next... then the leaf warmer....
I really love the purple one, and next up is the blue.
I do love the Maluka, but knit up the scaves first.
All are pretty. My choice would depend on the drape of the yarn.
If it is very soft, the Green multi-tab one will droop and never lie properly and Blue would sag. In that case I'd go with Red or Purple/Pink (hard to tell on this monitor).
If it's got a bit of ooomph, and can stand up to the weight of four buttons, I'd do Blue or Purple/Pink. But then it might be too stiff for Red.
And if it was downright robust, I'd work Green. Then it would be not drapey enough for Red, and would make Purple/Pink or Blue feel like armor.
they're all really beautiful - but the flared one is my top choice!
The design of the green one is lovely!
For you, I think the Diamond Warmer would look best. It somehow suits you, IM(NOTSO) HO.
Flared warmer, hands down, and yes...the Makula is beautiful. Aunt Jo would have loved it!!
I actually like all of them :)
