Author: Toast

Warnings: None, unless unabashed knitting geekery counts as a warning.

Written for hobbit_kink. The original prompt was:

A hobbit's feet are very robust and so Bilbo needs no boots - hands are a different cup of tea, though. After a while of packing and unpacking ponies and holding on to reins every day, the halfling's hands look a mess.

So Ori knits him a pair of gloves. I just really wanna see Ori in his element. And not only would it make Bilbo feel better, Ori would feel useful, too.

Bonus points: If Thorin is the one who goes, "Hey, Ori. You see the hobbit's hands? Maybe you could do something about that, mh?"

Also partially inspired by this adorable piece of fan art.

A/N: For any knitters who may read this, these are the mitts that Ori makes for Bilbo.

Whopping big thanks to aithine for the beta, and to goth_hobbit for the Tolkien-check.
