Especially in spring and fall, it's nice to cover up your hands but leave your fingers free. These fingerless mitts are really cozy and quick to make. I made these in one night using some old, unlabeled yarn I had sitting around in my stash. My mom and I go through gloves so quickly so I just stick to the acrylics now, though I'm sure the mitts will turn out beautifully in Noro yarn, as the pattern calls for.
Instructions:
Pattern available here.
The instructions are simple and very repetitive so they're perfect to make while watching a movie. The garter stitch cuff around your palm is worked horizontally first, then the stockinette stitch wrist is worked vertically second. It's a simple concept with a beautiful result.
I think I'll make another pair with the cuff in one color and the wrist in a different color.
