An easy-as-pie 8ply fingerless mitts knitting pattern
This is a digital knitting pattern, designed by Sarah Crawford.
These sweet little fingerless mittens are perfect for those cold days in winter, or cold mornings in spring or autumn, when you need an extra layer when out for a walk or impromptu snow fight. Simple and quick to knit, you will have multiples at the ready in your bag or car.
Named for the special pink berries on top of the Mountain which is our home, the pretty moss stitch is equally special. Unisex, for the kids and adults, this pattern so very versatile.
These mittens are cast on at the finger edge and worked in the round to the thumbhole. The thumbhole section is worked flat and then the rest of the mitten
is worked in the round, again. Whilst we provide different sizes for the width of the mitt, the length of all the adult mitts are the same. As these mittens have no increases and decreases the length of the mittens can be easily customised below the thumbhole.
ALWAYS take your measurements from the stockinette side of your work as the moss stitch will measure shorter.
