This pattern is also available for purchase via PayHip or LoveCrafts.

Top-down fingerless mittens, with an overlapping thumb panel, designed for use with gradient yarns or those instances where you want to use every last yard of yarn! A button adds the final touch.

The mittens are seamless, and the thumb gusset is knit at the same time as the rest of the mitten – meaning that there is no disruption to a gradient.

The mitten has been designed for the Vivid Fibre Arts fingering weight gradient yarns. Sample shows a Medium size knit using Vivid Fibre Arts Gemini MCN XL (264 yds / 241 m per 60g) in the ‘Sonrisa’ colourway. This yarn is also available at standard 176 yds / 161 m per 40g.
