The Essential Fingerless Gloves from Valley Yarns are a pair of well-fitted, worsted weight mitts worked in the round with a thumb gusset and a nice, long cuff.

If you work outside, their no-frills functionality make them well-suited for wearing under cuffless mittens on the coldest days, so your hands can stay warm if the mittens have to come off for finer work. If you work inside, the rich colors of Valley Yarns Stockbridge are great for adding a pop to your outfit while keeping your hands and wrists warm.
