Notes

Mum asked me for another pair of fingerless mitts, since wearing them at night helps with the arthritis in her hands. She just wanted some plain ones, so I used up leftover machine washable sock yarn. Which is also why they’re very fraternal. Successful stash busting, hoorah!

7sts/inch, 2x2 rib for cuffs (2.5”) and tops (1/2”).

Needles: Wooden Addi 80cm circulars.
