Lacy Cuff Fingerless Mitts
MATERIALS: For this delightful project, you will need 1 x 100g/ 280m skein of green DK yarn, consisting of 30% wool and 70% acrylic. These versatile gloves are designed to be worked in the round, ensuring a seamless finish and comfortable fit.
FINISHED MEASUREMENTS:
- Size S - hand circumference 7'' - 8'' (18 - 20 cm)
- Size M - hand circumference 8'' - 9'' (20 - 22 cm)
- Size L - hand circumference 9'' - 10'' (22 – 24 cm)
If you find yourself between sizes, I recommend choosing the smaller size, as the mittens tend to stretch with wear for a custom fit!
NEEDLES:
- 3.5 mm (US 4) DPNs or long circular needles for the ribbed cuffs
- 4 mm (US 6) DPNs or long circular needles for the main body of the gloves
STITCHES & TECHNIQUES TO KNOW:
- Long tail cast on method for a stretchy and neat start
- Working from a knitting chart for added complexity
- Knit stitches (sts) for the main body of the gloves
- Purl stitches for the ribbing and added texture
- Stockinette stitch for a smooth finish
- Picking up stitches for thumb opening
- Casting off to complete your project with a tidy edge
