These fingerless mittens are ideal for autumn or the end of winter, when you need just that extra layer to keep your hands warm. I love the bright colours, they give an extra touch of colour in the grey days of winter.

Yarn

I used a handdyed by me yarn, a mix of BFC and silk sock yarn from Spoker Yarn. The silk gives it a nice shine and makes the mittens durable. It’s not necessary to use yarn with silk. Any fingering weight yarn will be fine.
