these are a great beginner knit to practice your knitting in the round on double point needles (dpns). this is a step by step photo tutorial full of little tips and tricks to manage all those needles and make smooth, seamless color transitions.

if you’ve been thinking about trying mittens or gloves, this is a great starting point to get the basics under your belt before you advance to separate fingers or a closed top. you can easily change the look by changing the colors, the length of the color blocks, or the length of the whole mitt to make them more of a wristie. if you’re a seasoned knitter, these will knit up in a single afternoon and require little attention.

fyi- finch is described as a fingering weight yarn. however, on size 5 needles, i obtained the gauge i based the pattern on (5spi). gauge is highly individualized! please use a yarn and needles that give you 5 stitches/inch.
