These are fun, cozy fingerless mitts to keep you warm on those first cold days of the year. They knit up in a hurry in this thick, gorgeous yarn, so when the forecast becomes foreboding, you can still get them done in time.

This pattern is also a great chance to try out some new techniques like stranded colourwork and tubular cast on and bind off, on a small scale. The pattern includes a photo tutorial for both tubular CO and tubular BO.

Depending on how long you make the cuff, these mitts will use varying amounts of the Main Colour.
