Introduction
These fingerless mitts were inspired by my sister’s new job in an office setting. Since she was new to working in a cold office, I thought I would make her some mitts to keep her hands warm while still allowing her the ability to type. Lindsey Mitts are knit bottom-up in fingering weight yarn with a fair-isle design throughout. The fair-isle design is charted for both the hand and thumb. These mitts fit quite snug, so if you want more room, or if you are a tight knitter, please use a slightly larger needle size.
