Gifford Woods

In the enchanting transitional seasons of spring and fall, we find ourselves paying special attention to the vibrant leaves as they emerge and wane on the trees. These beautifully designed fingerless mitts are the perfect accessory for both of these seasons, whether the leaves are lush green or a warm, rich brown.

Construction Notes
These fingerless mitts are expertly knit in the round, featuring stylish ribbed cuffs and a carefully crafted slipped stitch wristband for a flattering shape. To enhance the design, mirrored charts are included for the elegant leaf motifs. The ribbing allows the extremely soft yarn to gently hug your wrists and hands, ensuring that you remain toasty warm during those chilly evenings. Whether you're out on a brisk walk or cozying up with a book, these mitts are ideal for transitional weather.

Notions
To complete your knitted mitts, you will need 3 stitch markers (including one unique marker for the thumb gusset), a tapestry needle for weaving in those pesky ends, and either scrap yarn or a stitch holder for any necessary hold-ups.

Skills Required
This pattern is friendly for those who are comfortable with essential skills such as knitting and purling, as well as working on double-pointed needles (DPNs). Techniques including m1p, pfb, and yo are clearly described within the pattern, along with k2tog, p2tog, sk2p, and ssk, making it a comprehensive guide for all levels. Additionally, you will learn to read charts, which will elevate your knitting skills and inspire future projects.

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Chris Church (known as rchrispy on Ravelry) for providing invaluable technical editing. With her expertise, this pattern has been refined to perfection, ensuring that your experience will be enjoyable and fulfilling.

Embrace the changing seasons with these delightful fingerless mitts—your hands will thank you!
