Winter Market Mitts

The Winter Market Mitts are here for all of your winter-wearing (and shopping and reading and coffee drinking) and gift knitting needs!

What makes the Winter Market Mitts the most delightful fingerless glove pattern since sliced bread? Well: 1. They are just the right size to keep your hands cozy while still letting you use your fingers, 2. They are perfect for people of all genders, 3. They knit up fast, and 4. You can make them from just about any yarn in your stash!

Winter Market Mitts are knit in the round from the cuff up. There’s a thumb gusset for a super comfy fit, and 1x1 ribbing at the cuffs and top.
