Fingerless Mitts

Pattern Notes

These fingerless mitts are worked in two directions. The hand portion is provisionally cast on and worked

flat in garter stitch. The two ends are either grafted together or joined using a 3-needle bind off. Stitches

are then picked up and worked in rounds.

For a tidy garter edge: slip the first stitch of every row purlwise with yarn in front.
