Let’s Knit On!
Fingerless Mitts
This is a good “first pair of mitts” pattern for beginning knitters, incorporating ribbing, knit and purl stitches, a bit of construction and lots of practice knitting in the round with double pointed needles. The mitts match the Let’s Knit On! First Hat pattern. Enjoy!
