Butterfly Fingerless Mitts are multi-sized, stranded hand warmers with wide thumb gussets and a quilted gauntlet made with fingering weight yarn. Worked in the round, this pattern is ambidextrous -- no different left and right mitts!

The mitts shown were made with Jamieson’s Shetland Spindrift and Elemental Affects yarns. The smallest size takes approximately 100 yards for the pair and the largest size takes approximately 140 yards for the pair. Size changes are done by increasing needle size, but working with larger yarns is also an easy way to make these mitts bigger.

Stitch markers are handy to keep track of the thumb gusset. A stitch holder, or my favorite, a piece of cotton scrap yarn, will help reserve the gusset stitches for completing the thumb.
