Pattern Notes

These fingerless mitts are worked in DK weight for a fast weekend project! Worked in the round with cables that slowly taper outwards and inwards, creating fern-like shapes up the front of the mitts. These mitts feature a gusseted thumb, tubular cast on and sewn tubular bind off. The pattern is written in ONE ADULT SIZE that will fit an average adult-sized hand circumference. The pattern is charted and also includes separate written instructions. All repeat sections appear in bold print for easy reading.
