**Knit Your Own Fingerless Mitts: A Versatile Pattern for Every Style**
These stylish fingerless mitts are perfect for knitters looking to create a cozy accessory that combines function and flair. Knitted in a smooth stockinette stitch, these mitts feature a chic stockinette roll in black at the fingers and the thumb. Don't be afraid to express your creativity—substitute a contrasting color like hot pink, vibrant red, or sunny yellow for a pop of color! This rolled edge is not only visually appealing but also offers an excellent opportunity to use up leftover worsted-weight yarn in a variety of shades.
**Finished Measurements:** The mitts are 9 inches in length when unrolled, and 8 inches long when rolled down. With a comfortable circumference of 8 1/4 inches, they fit snugly without being constricting.
**Sizing:** These fingerless mitts are designed to best fit hands with a circumference of up to 8 inches. To determine your perfect fit, simply measure around your hand at the widest part using a tape measure to find your hand circumference.
**Yarn Requirements:** For this pattern, we recommend using Cascade 220, a high-quality 100% Peruvian Highland wool. The main color for the mitts is Charcoal Gray (Color No. 8400), while the contrasting color for the rolled edges is classic Black (Color No. 8555).
**Gauge:** Achieve the ideal fit with a gauge of 6 stitches per inch, or 24 stitches in a 4-inch swatch. This ensures that your finished product maintains its shape and structure.
**Needles:** Use U.S. Size 5 double-pointed needles (DPNS) or two U.S. Size 5 24-inch circular needles—whichever you prefer—to establish the correct gauge. Adjust your needle size as necessary to achieve the desired tension and fit.
Whether you're making a thoughtful gift or treating yourself to a handmade accessory, these fingerless mitts are a fun and rewarding project that will keep your hands warm while allowing your fingers the freedom to move.
