These fingerless mittens are knitted in stranded colourwork from the cuff upward. The pattern requires basic knowledge of knitting including increasing and decreasing, and should be fairly easy for any knitter who is somewhat familiar with stranded knitting and following a chart. The cuff incorporates a little bit of lace, but it’s a very simple two-row lace pattern which would be a perfect first lace endeavor for the beginner. The mittens also feature a thumb gusset to fit your hand like - well, not quite a glove, but a nice mitten. :-)

The pattern includes charts and written instructions for women’s medium sized mittens, but the size can be easily adjusted by going up or down a needle size.
