Thank you so much for your interest in my Wending Way Fingerless Mitts pattern! The name is based on a mandolin song I wrote several years ago that got shared on the internet and played in some really fun ways! I’ve included a copy of that sheet music in this pattern as a fun bonus!

PATTERN NOTES
These mitts are knit from the cuff to the fingers
with a gusset for the thumb. Both mitts are the
same – there is no difference between the left
mitt and the right mitt.

This design is appropriate for double pointed
needles, two circular needles, or Magic Loop.
Use whatever needle style is most comfortable
for you. Stitch markers are used to provide shaping
landmarks throughout the pattern.
