These fingerless mittens were created to help keep my hands warm on chilly morning stroller walks with my baby. I wanted something that would allow me to grip the stroller handle while still keeping my hands protected from the morning chill. They are quick to knit and take only one skein of bulky weight yarn. I especially love using fun hand dyed yarns from Independent Dyers. You can also throw these on to keep your hands warm while typing, writing or knitting!
