My wrists are often cold, probably because I tend to push up my sleeves when I’m doing anything with my hands- knitting, typing, reading- regardless of weather or room temperature. That’s why I like longer fingerless mitts- they cover your wrists! They’re also great layered with thin gloves for the winter; snow can’t get into your coat cuffs, but you can still use your fingers. Best of both worlds.

These mitts feature an easy-to-work knot stitch pattern on the backs and are knitted in Wonderfluff, a Knit Picks yarn that’s made by blowing alpaca and merino fibers into a mesh tube. High tech stuff. If you don’t have any Wonderfluff, use any yarn that you like that knits to gauge.

Skills needed: Long tail and backwards loop cast ons, knitting in the round, basic increases and decreases, picking up stitches, knitting with double-pointed needles.
