River Road Fingerless Mitts
Get the elegant and intricate look of cables without the work! If you can knit in the round, increase, decrease, knit, and purl, you can make these mitts. With a gusset thumb, they come off the needles ready to wear.
The garter stitch rib has a lot of give, so don’t worry too much about the gauge. If you’re in the ballpark with the needle size and a worsted weight yarn, these should fit.
Includes both written and charted instructions.
Skills
Working in the round, knitting, purling, increasing, decreasing.
Size
