Interweave SKU: EP1037

Pattern Description from Interweave Knits, Holiday 2006:
If you want a gift in a hurry, try these lively fingerless mitts. Two identical mitts make a pair--they fit equally comfortably on either hand. The mitts are worked in the round from cuff to finger opening, with a gusset formed for the thumb along the way. The striped ribbing and simple-to-follow slip-stitch pattern in the hand provide lots of color interest.  And good news!! Slip stitch color work means you work with only one color in a row so these vibrant mitts are a breeze to knit.
