For a farmer, the work never ends. Doing barn chores in the dead of winter can seem impossible, so a pair of lovely fingerless mittens is essential to keep your hands warm but your fingers free. The use of Wensleydale wool in this pattern ensures a hardwearing fabric, while the cables and seed stitch add some intriguing texture to the overall design.

Even if you don’t have a farm to tend to, these fingerless mitts will keep your hands warm and toasty in the winter while keeping your fingers free.
