Patterns for trigger mittens with a separate forefinger can be found in wartime knitting books. Originally intended to wear while shooting, I find the’re also useful if you use a walking stick with a flat handle; these are held with the forefinger in front of the stick and the other three behind and that finger can get very cold!

These mittens are sized to fit a woman’s hand but instructions are included on adjusting them to fit as they are knitted.

All my ravelry patterns are free to download but, if you enjoy them, please consider making a donation to the Children’s Liver Disease Foundation, a charity which funds research and supports the families of children with a liver disease. You can do this easily by going to my fundraising page www.justgiving.com/frankiesknittedstuff

Happy Knitting!
