SERVICEBERRY fingerless mitts are stretchy, cozy, and satisfying to knit! The ribbed pattern grows organically to create a tidy thumb gusset and nice snug fit. Great on their own or layered over gloves for extra warmth. Shown in size 1. Note: To work smooth stripes as shown on size 4 (pink/green sample), join new colour and work 1 round knit before resuming 2x2 rib.

NEW for 2022
In addition to the original fingering weight fingerless mitts, SERVICEBERRY now comes with instructions for worsted weight fingerless mitts, as well as symmetric and asymmetric mitten tops for both weights.

Shown modeled in size 1.
