Fingerless mitts keep your hands surprisingly warm but still allow you to use your fingers to unlock the door or send a text message, and these are a perfect pair to start with. They’re worked flat (as opposed to in the round) and closed with buttons at the sides. Another great opportunity to raid the button jar!

The size of these mitts can be adjusted easily by placing the buttons nearer to or farther from the edge of the mitt to achieve your desired fit.
