This is a fairly simple pattern for a pair of Ladies medium size fingerless mitts utilizing the Granite stitch. It’s written to be knit on 2 circular needles, but should be easy to convert to double pointed needles or the Magic Loop technique.

The pattern requires about 180 yards of worsted weight yarn. You will also need size 5 needles, a stitch holder, stitch markers, a yarn needle, and scissors.

The mitts knit to size Ladies Medium, which means an 8 inch hand circumference, and 7 inches in total length. They feature a twisted rib cuff and a thumb gusset for extra comfort.
