Dotty Mitts
If you purchase 3 patterns from my Ravelry Store at the same time (add them all to your cart before you check out), the least expensive one will be free.
These little polka dot fingerless mitts are knit in the round, bottom up, with fingering weight yarn, They have patterning only on the body of the mitt, with a plain knit thumb gusset.
A great stash-buster, the mitts come in three sizes and are interchangeable for each hand. The mitts are easily customized for length or width by adding or subtracting repeats of the polka dot motifs - note this might affect yarn quantities.
