This pattern is for the fingerless mitts and mittens. I added the mitts option in the last minute, just because I knitted a pair for myself to wear this spring and I really liked how they turned out.

The beautiful pair of mittens on the photo is from Marit (she is Mitt on Ravelry) , and the fingerless pair is mine.

Circular needles size US 0-2, depending on your gauge / size needed.

Gauge and size:
