Just a simple textured graphic pattern? Or a motif featuring tiny white flowers? Or a flock of bats? Or a gathering of grumpy cats?
Whatever you see in the colourwork pattern, these cosy mitts will keep your hands warm in cold weather months.

The fingerless gloves are cast on, and a cuff is worked in a 2x2 rib pattern.
After increasing stitches and beginning to work from colourwork charts, a placeholder of waste yarn is inserted into the fabric of the palm for the afterthought thumb.
The charts are completed, and the hand is finished with two short rows. Each of the four fingers and the thumb are worked seperately in stockinette stitch.
