CJ's Garter Cuff Fingerless Mitts

Discover the warmth and convenience of our fingerless mitts pattern, expertly crafted from my well-loved basic mitten recipe. These fingerless mitts are designed to be snug and comfortable, featuring a thick garter stitch cuff that effectively blocks out the cold, allowing your fingers to remain available for everyday tasks. Whether you're texting on your phone, grabbing your keys, or enjoying a cup of coffee, these mitts provide the perfect blend of warmth and functionality.

As a devoted parent who has raised eight children, I've knit countless pairs of mittens over the years. As my children grew, their love for fingerless mitts also evolved. These mitts offer an unmatched convenience, especially in chilly Iowa winters where the thermostat rarely rises high enough! With fingers free, they can easily handle tasks, making them a favorite accessory around our home.

To complete your winter wardrobe, be sure to check out our matching beanie and mitten patterns available in the companion collection. These stylish pieces will keep you warm while enhancing your overall look. With the upcoming winter season, it's wise to knit several sets to ensure you’re ready for the next cold snap! All three pieces—fingerless mitts, beanie, and mittens—can be crafted using just two skeins of the main color and one skein of a contrasting color, making it a cost-effective and enjoyable knitting project.
