Basic fingerless mitts for my brother. I dyed this yarn especially for the project; it’s leftover undyed stock from my dyer-days :)

No specific pattern, just:

• German twisted cast on, 48 stitches
• 12 rounds 2x2 rib
• 20 rounds garter rib (alternating knit rounds and k2,p2 rounds)
• Start a thumb gusset with M1R and M1L around one knit column, continue increasing at the edges of the thumb every second round nine times
• 3 more rounds after last increase, then put 20 thumb stitches on holder
• Resume garter rib, casting on 2 stitches in thumb gap
• 8 rounds garter rib
• 8 rounds 2x2 rib
• EZ’s sewn bind off
• Thumb stitches back on needles, pick up 6 in the gap
• Knit three rounds with two decreases in each, one plain round, then 4 rounds 2x2 rib & EZ’s sewn bind off again

Sizing seems about right for an Adult L/XL, I had my husband try them on and it was fine so they’re in the mail!
