I hope you like my pattern for #wafflesmittens and I’m happy to share it for free. As yet this pattern is untested so if you find any errors please message me and I will make the correction.

Waffles are fingerless mittens consisting of a textured pattern using only knit and purl stitches. The pattern is a simple 4 row repeat which creates a waffle effect starting at the wrist and continuing for the length of the mittens. They include a thumb gusset which continues with the same waffle stitch detail. The pattern includes 3 sizing options for women’s hand sizes. Knitted using DK weight yarn the pattern could also be resized by using a different yarn and/or needle size. The mittens are knitted on circular needles using the magic loop method or dpn’s if that is your preference.
