Whiteowlcrochetco. Huxley Fingerless Mittens


** Current version: v1 (Jan 2021).

The Huxley Fingerless Mittens are perfect for the late-night gamer, the full-time coder, the phone lover, the photographer, the driver… I could go on!

Knit with a heavy DK or light worsted weight yarn, this pattern is knit in the round from the bottom up, beginning with a twisted rib cuff, transitioning into stockinette. A thumb gusset is worked with increase stitches and is then held on scrap yarn while the remainder of the mitt is worked. Both the thumb and the mitt are finished with twisted rib.

This would be a great project for an easy-intermediate knitter! Skill level: 2/4.

Includes instructions for how to add a project to Ravelry.
