This pattern is available for free.

This free pattern on my blog is for fingerless mitts/gloves knit flat using two needles and seamed to create a thumb opening.

I originally designed this to show off a skein of handspun yarn I had spun from a textured batt, but any worsted weight yarn will do! I think something with some fun texture or variation would be lovely.

Materials
220 yd / 200 m worsted weight yarn.
One pair of straight needles in size US 9 / 5.5 mm, or a size that lets you meet the prescribed gauge.
A tape measure, 2 stitch markers, 4 locking stitch markers or safety pins, and a tapestry/yarn needle for seaming and weaving in ends.

Sizes
S (M, L, XL) to fit most teen to large adult hands.

Palm circumference: 7 (7.5, 8, 8.5) in / 18 (19, 20.5, 21.5) cm.

Length of fingerless glove: 8.5 (8.5, 9.5, 9.5) in / 21.5 (21.5, 24, 24) cm.
