An indoor/outdoor pair of mitts perfect for keeping hands and fingers toasty warm, whilst still being able to use your fingertips when you need to. This attached mitten top doesn’t need to secure to anything to stay out of your way. It lays nice and flat on the back of the hand and is ready to pop over chilly fingertips.

A perfect gift knit, these can be on & off the needles in a weekend!
Instructions include multiple other options: fingerless or full thumb, full mitten or fingerless for variety.

Construction
Knit in the round with MagicLoop Technique or DPNs.
Bottom up with a thumb gusset designed to fit the left and right thumbs perfectly.

Sizing & Gauge
Hand circumferences from 6.25” to 8.25” - lengths are all adjustable
24sts x36rows in 4”/10cm square - stockinette in the round with 3.75mm/US 5, measured after blocking

Yarn
Solids, tonals, variegated, any yarn will do. I especially love these mitts in a self-striping. They are also a fun way to use up some scrappy leftovers or a festive mini set.

Difficulty
Beginner knitting-in-the-round friendly!
I’ve got you covered if the attached knitting is a bit intimidating…
