Pattern notes
These fingerless mitts are knit in the round. After knitting thumb gusset, stitches are put on hold and thumb is created by picking up stitches after completing the main mitt.

There is a separate chart for the right hand and the left hand.
Read charts from right to left and bottom to top.

When finished, block mitts using a wool wash for proper fit and enhanced stitch definition.

The thumb is created with increases and then stitches are put on hold and picked up to finish at the end.

There is enough yarn with one 25g ball of each color to knit two pairs - one for you and one for a gift!

Pattern is sized for a small/medium adult hand. Colorwork can cause you to knit tighter than usual so please check your gauge in the round. Going up one size in needles will allow for a larger size glove.
