Matching accessories make me look more polished and put together, even on days when I might not feel very polished or put together. So, I’m on a mission to create sets of matching knitwear accessories in my favourite colours using my favourite yarns and stitch patterns.

The Ahlie collection includes socks, a cowl, hat and fingerless mitts.

Ahlie fingerless mitts are snug and warm and I love to wear these over a simple black glove. This pattern is worked from the cuff up and starts with a provisional cast on and folded stockinette cuff. The Ahlie stitch pattern is worked on the front and back of the hand and the mitt ends with a folded stockinette tip. The thumb is gusseted and is worked in stockinette stitch with a folded stockinette thumb tip. The pattern is worked in opposite directions on each mitt so that the mitts mirror each other. The pattern is graded for 5 circumferences and heights.
