Start at the wrist cuff and work up on these fingerless cuties. Before you know it, your fingerless mitts will be ready to be decorated. Templates and instructions are given on how to make holly leaves from felt, as well as 3 options to create bright berries (buttons, pompoms, or embroidered).

Three sizes are given: 3-5 yrs old (6-8 yrs old - adult)
Mitt Length: 4 1/2” (5” - 6”)
Cuff Width: 2 1/2” (2 3/4” - 3 1/2”)
Hand Width: 3” (3 1/2” - 4”)

You’ll need green worsted yarn to achieve gauge, with a bit of red yarn to embroider berries. Also, a couple sheets of green felt (I like 2 different colors, to give it even more pizazz).

Also included: an original fairytale and a bonus craft idea that ties into the fairytale, to please your little (or big) holly fairy all the more!
