Fingerless mitts are the perfect combination of fun and function. You can be warm but still use your phone or easily pick up a few M&M’s to munch on. They are versatile and fun to knit. Pick up a skein of colorful DK weight yarn and get to it! Pick up two skeins if you want to make the matching hat. The Cascade Hat is the perfect companion to these mitts!
