Fingerless mitts or full mittens to keep your hands warm! Start with ribbing or a picot hem add a band of simple stranded work for the cuff, then a gusset is worked for a “sore thumb” followed by another band of stranded work for the hand, finish it off with ribbing or hem for the fingerless mitts and a rounded decrease for the top of the mittens.

Lots of options are given so you can customize to suit. Great for using up scraps! The middle rows of dots only take about a yard of yarn each so you can use up even the smallest scraps.
