From her website:

“For December, I wanted to make a video of a nice gift that you can knit - something that doesn’t take too much time or money, but people on your list will appreciate/

So here’s my video, teaching a fingerless mitt. I am an accountant, and we office workers often sit still in our offices, typing on the computer, and getting cold fingers. These are ideal for that!

This takes less than one skein (under 50 grams) of fingering weight yarn. Since this doesn’t take much yarn, why not use the very best, softest yarn you can find? “
