I sell knitwear, and this spring I made a few different fingerless mittens and asked folks who came in my shop for feedback. With quite a few people chiming in over several weeks I pinned down this pattern, combining folks’ preferences for the height, width, and thumb hole size. So far I have sold a bunch of them.

I absolutely love how these mittens fit. I can’t stop making them.

The Simple Fingerless Mittens pattern gives you instructions to make a pair of fingerless mittens with less than one skein of super bulky yarn like Malabrigo Rasta or Caracol.

The pattern is written for one size, average adult.

The pattern is knit on DPNS or in the round with appropriate needles like shorties.
