Is it a sock? Is it fingerless mitts? Until you get to the heel turn, it can be either. A tube is a tube is a tube until you put a thumb gusset or heel in it, right?
Fingerless mitts and socks have so much in common. Have you ever noticed that the cuff of most socks fits your forearm like a glove? A standard 56/64/72-stitch cast-on often works as well for a wrist as it does for an ankle. Add a little ribbing to help with the fit, drop in a thumb, and BAM! Fingerless mitts.
Size:
Palm Circumference: 7.5[8.25, 9] inches
Length: 9.5 inches
Gauge:
32 sts/52 rows = 4inches in stockinette stitch
Yarn:
50[60,70] grams of fingering weight sock yarn. Samples are knit with hand dyed superwash merino yarn.
1 set(s) US #1/2.25mm double-point or circular needles
2 stitch markers
Stitch holder or waste yarn
Silk ribbon, embroidery thread, scrap yarn for embellishment [optional]
These mitts are ribbed at the sides for fit and ease. Each mitt has a flat stockinette panel on the top and the bottom. Think of the flat panel as your canvas. Keep it plain to highlight a busy yarn or add some decorative embroidery to truly make these mitts your own.
