This pattern was originally made on needles and can be downloaded at the following link where a video tutorial on DPN (double pointed needles) is for your convenience. If you have wanted to try DPN before, this is a great simple pattern to start. Thank you Staci for allowing me to translate your lovely pattern! http://verypink.com/2013/05/01/easy-fingerless-mitts/

Loom: Knitting Board Sock Loom 2 or 3/8” gauge adjustable loom. Could also use the AllnOne loom. http://www.knittingboard.com/product_p/sockloom_2.htm

Yarn: original pattern calls for worsted weight, Aran or 10 ply. A Bulky was used in samples - Cascade 128 Superwash Multis 114 Grapes 1 skein. http://www.cascadeyarns.com/cascade-128superwash_multis.asp

Sizing: Pattern written for women’s sizing. For larger sizing see notes. The mitts are quite stretchy and can even fit as young as a 5 year old.

Note that sample made in regular size fits a youth of age 8 comfortably shown on model in photography. Sample also fits me but would be more comfortable in larger size with longer body length. My hands are larger like a man’s (knuckles 8” circumference). Use as a guide of making for a man or large mitt.
