Roddin Fingerless mitts
Our Roddin mitts are the perfect gift for everyone, showcasing a minimalist style with a stretchy, comfy rib and firmer ribbed cuff - these will be popular with recipients of all ages and genders! A fun, small project that you’ll find yourself giving away time and again. The best part? The long, foldover cuffs at the top allow can be folded back when you need to use your fingers and unfolded to keep them cosy when you don’t!

Construction begins with the cuffs, which are worked in a firmer 1x1 rib to ensure they stay on snugly and beautifully transitions to the bolder 2x2 rib that’s used for the rest of the mitts. Comfortable thumb shaping is worked with a single column of increases on the palm, creating a curved line that echoes the lifeline on the hand, allowing the ribbing to flow from the back of the hand over the thumb. After finishing the increases, put the stitches on hold to leave an opening for the thumb and continue working in the round for the rest of the hand section. Once this done, you complete the thumbs by returning to the held stitches to the needles and working the thumbs in the round.
