Use fingering weight or sport weight yarn to knit fingerless or full mitten versions of the Night Mitts pattern. These mitts are not hand specific so no worrying about making separate left and right mittens. The fabric is very forgiving and fits hand circumferences from 5.5” (Size 1 relaxed) to 12” (Size 4 comfortably stretched).

Finished Sizes:

The cuff is 4” as written, but can be knitted longer.

Size 1 – Hand circumference 5.5” relaxed and 7.5” comfortably stretched (15 cm relaxed -19 cm comfortably stretched)

Size 2 ­– Hand circumference 6.75” relaxed and 9” comfortably stretched (18 cm relaxed -25.4 cm comfortably stretched)

Size 3 – Hand circumference 7.75” relaxed and 10.5” comfortably stretched (20.5 cm relaxed - 11.2 cm comfortably stretched)

Size 4 – Hand circumference 8.75” relaxed and 12” comfortably stretched (22.2 cm relaxed – 30.5 cm comfortably stretched)
