On Sale

$4.00
Cozy short fingerless mitts with fun striping to keep your hands and wrists warm and your thumb and fingers free.
Worked in the round two at a time using magic loop, starting with ribbing, then striped stockinette while shaping for the thumb, separating for the thumb, and then the final ribbing. The thumbs are worked last.
Basic Pattern Info
Yarn that I used
Valley Yarns Berkshire (Aran weight)
85% Wool 15% Alpaca
100g, 108 yds
Color A: 45 Brown Heather, (1) Skein
Color B: 28 Navy, (1) skein
*I think it’s easiest to use 2 balls per color, but you can separate the one skein into two equal
balls, or you can pull from the outside for one mitt and the inside for the other.
Needle
US 9/5.5mm 24-32” / 60-80 cm circular (a
longer cable just gives you more space to work)
US 10.5/6.5mm - 1 needle for BO, optional if you bind off really tightly
US 9/5.5mm dpns for thumb, optional
Gauge
17 sts x 23 rows = 4” / 10 cm
