Knitted from a lightweight yarn, these cozy textured fingerless mittens offer warmth and softness without bulk, perfect for chilly mornings or cool evenings. I added fun stripes to evoke the festive spirit of the winter season, making them a delightful accessory for holiday outings. With an easily memorized stitch pattern repeat and adjustable sizing, they also make a wonderful last minute gift idea!

Mitts are worked from the bottom up and can be worked in one solid color yarn, or with multiple color stripes to make the most of your available yarn. Length is easy to adjust, and the stretchy textured rib means they can fit a variety of hand shapes and sizes.

Skills needed - Casting on (long tail cast on, backward loop cast on), knitting, purling, changing colors, basic decreases (slip slip knit and knit two together), basic increases (make one right and make one left), picking up stitches, and casting off.
