Araluen Fingerless Mitts

Chilly nights spent in front of a blazing wood fire with its crackled wood and twisted flames inspired these warm fingerless mitts.

Knit in the round from the wrist down, these mitts begin with a variation of a twisted rib cuff which smoothly transitions into the curved rib textured pattern (that is mirrored on the opposite hand for symmetry) before evolving into the ribbed finger cuff. 

They are designed using the same stitch pattern as:
