These fingerless mitts are fun to knit and fun to wear! The masks are formed by working short-rows. Knit with 2 colors of fingering weight yarn or using your stash of leftovers. They coordinate with both the Secret Identity Cowl and the Secret Identity Hat.

Most super heroes and villains have dual identities. Some wear a mask, like Batman, Green Arrow, or Captain America. Some wear glasses in their “mild-mannered” identities, like Clark Kent and Diana Prince.

Want a smaller size for a junior super hero or a little bigger? Go down or up a needle size. As shown, the mitts required about 130 yds of the main color and only 65 yds of the contrast color. More specific yarn requirements are provided for those wishing to use leftover stash.
