Frankie Mittens

Introducing our cozy and stylish fingerless mittens knitting pattern, perfect for knitters of all skill levels! These mittens are designed to be knitted in the round, providing a seamless finish that keeps your hands warm while allowing for maximum dexterity. The pattern is originally written for double-pointed needles (dpns), but it's just as easy to adapt for small circular needles, making this project versatile and accessible to everyone.

For this project, I chose the beautiful Kingfisher color from the West Yorkshire Spinners (WYS) Signature 4 ply Country Bird range. However, feel free to experiment with any sock yarn you have on hand, as these mittens work wonderfully with a variety of yarns! Perfect for those looking to make good use of leftover sock yarn, this pattern requires approximately 35 grams or 140 meters of yarn. If you prefer a shorter cuff, you can reduce your yarn usage and create a customized fit.

One of the standout features of this design is the longer cuff, which comfortably tucks under your coat sleeve to keep your wrists cozy and protected from the chilly air. Additionally, I experimented with fun techniques for increasing the thumb, resulting in a stylish and functional shape that I hope you’ll love as much as I do!

Whether you’re making them for yourself or as thoughtful gifts for friends and family, these fingerless mittens are sure to be a hit. Enjoy the satisfaction of creating a practical and chic accessory with this easy-to-follow pattern. Grab your needles and leftover yarn, and let’s get started on these fantastic fingerless mittens today!
