These fingerless mitts come in 6 sizes from a child’s MD to men’s LG. They start off with a short twisted rib cuff, just long enough to cover the ends of your sleeves. The mirrored cables established on the cuff then transition into broader cables over the back of the hand. They’re a quick knit and only require a partial skein of worsted weight yarn. All charts also have written instructions.
