You can practically smell the stacks of old books and leather
armchairs that populate the library in your mind as you wear
these classic tweed fingerless mitts. This project is incredibly
easy and suitable for advanced beginners as well as more
seasoned crocheters looking for a fun and quick project.

These mitts are worked sideways, in turned rows, and slip
stitched together to form a tube. A change in stitch pattern
at each end creates the ribbing. For certain sizes, the
thumbhole is noticeably closer to the ending row. This is a
result of the extra rows worked before the thumbhole row
(compared to after the thumbhole row). This pushes the side
seam slightly toward the underside or palm of the hand, but
do not worry — it isn’t very noticeable. In order to make a
right and a left hand, one mitt is seamed with the last row
worked toward the inside, and one mitt is seamed with the
last row worked toward the outside.
