This is an free pattern for quick to make ladies fingerless mittens, you can easily make them in an evening.

Most of the stitches are just UK trebles. The ribbing effect also uses trebles but instead of ordinary trebles, we use front post trebles (FPtr) alternated with back post trebles (BPtr). The thumb and shaping might look daunting for beginners but I walk you through that bit using detailed instructions and photographs so you know what it should look like.

I think this is a perfect pattern for a beginner looking to expand their stitch repertoire. If you can do chains, slip stitches and trebles, all you have to do before trying this pattern is to look up how to do the front and back post trebles (FPtr and BPtr) and familiarise yourself with 2trtog for shaping. An explanation of how to do 2trtog is included in the pattern abbreviations. Links to video tutorials for FPtr and BPtr are also included

Just the one size to fit a medium lady.

I used Katia Azteca for the mittens in the photograph, this comes in 100g balls, you will only need one of these. If you decide to make it in the other recommended yarn (Rico Creative Melange Chunky), this comes in 50g balls - you will need two.

UK terminology is used throughout the pattern.
