Fiona Cable Mittens
This pattern was inspired by the fingerless gloves worn by the character Fiona in the US version of the show Shameless on Showtime in season 1. Matching hat and scarf pattern to follow! Note: I knit each mitten (right & left) with different size needles. For a roomier mitten use the US size 5 & 7. For a more snug fit use the US size 4 & 6 needles. Each fit my hands beautifully.
