If you purchase 3 patterns from my Ravelry Store at the same time (add them all to your cart before you check out), the least expensive one will be free.

These fingerless mitts are a quick knit and are great for using up oddments from your stash. The pattern is suitable for knitters who are comfortable knitting fair isle in the round. The mitts call for fingering weight yarns in two main shades, with small amounts of 4 contrast colours.
