With Winter coming around the corner I needed a new set of fingerless mittens and wasn’t happy with my current selection so I made my own! I’ve based these fingerless mittens on the Rice Stitch which is really easy for beginners to master and make an interesting pattern.

Having worn these mittens for a few days in a row now I’ve found that the texture created by the Rice stitch give the mitten a good grip when you are holding mugs, iPads etc. You won’t have to worry about things slipping out of your hands with these.

This pattern is to an adult female which can be adapted by changing the needle size and yarn weight to increase or decrease the overall size of the glove to fit anyone.
