The design features a tube shape with an opening on the side, making it a breeze for knitters of all skill levels. Whether you're a beginner eager to move beyond basic scarves or an intermediate knitter looking for quick and thoughtful handmade gifts, these mitts are the perfect project for you.
Our fingerless mitts are knit flat and then seamed together, ensuring a comfortable fit for everyone. The use of garter stitch not only adds a delightful texture but also provides natural vertical stretch, accommodating a variety of hand, wrist, and arm sizes with ease.

This pattern is designed to yield mitts that are 8" long, making them ideal for adult women and large men's hands. However, customization is key! You can easily modify the pattern by adding or subtracting stitches to create the perfect length for your needs—whether you prefer short wrist warmers or long arm warmers that provide extra coverage. Crafts enthusiasts will love the flexibility of this design, allowing you to express your personal style while creating functional accessories.
