Keep your hands cosy with these stylish fingerless mitts, featuring an elegant braided cable and smooth stocking stitch. Perfect for keeping your hands cosy while leaving your fingers free, these mitts are a wonderful accessory for crisp autumn walks, chilly winter mornings, or simply enjoying a warm cup of tea. Knit a pair for yourself or make them as a thoughtful handmade gift for someone special.

Materials: For these fingerless gloves, I used one 50 g skein (340 m) of cashmere-blend yarn in a red-orange shade.
The gloves are worked in the round with two strands of yarn held together throughout.

Finished Measurements:
Size S - M: woman’s hand circumference 7’’ - 8’’ (18 - 20 cm)
Size M - L: woman’s hand circumference 8’’ - 9’’ (20 – 22 cm)
I would recommend a size down since the mittens will stretch if you are between two sizes.
