These fingerless mitts feature a stranded pattern on the backs on the hands and a complementary windowpane pattern on the palms, along with a striped thumb gusset

The pattern includes some tips on working stranded colourwork including a note about yarn dominance. It is probably not an ideal first project if you are completely new to stranded colourwork as it does include some long floats, although a link is provided to a tutorial on catching your floats
