FitMitts are aptly named insofar as they offer a lovely fit! Brioche is an inherently stretchy stitch, making it a perfect choice for fingerless mitts. Your fingers will be free to check messages, pick apples, turn the page, hold on to a loved one, etc., while your hands are kept warm. Increases along the thumb are not only beautiful, they add to the luxurious fit of the mitts. And the delight of the mitts isn’t limited to just the wearer. They are a treat to make because they are knitted flat, not in the round, and are then sewn or knitted closed. These FitMitts just might become your favorite gift and/or go-to accessory!
