Majority Mitts

Introducing the perfect knitting pattern for fingerless mitts, designed especially to celebrate my son’s 21st birthday! Known for his love of fingerless mitts and his tendency to misplace them, I created this special design as a thoughtful solution. My son chose his favorite sock yarn from my extensive stash, and I made a promise to keep knitting these stylish mitts until the yarn ran out. With my 100-gram skein of sock yarn, it looks like I’ll be able to craft a total of 5 mitts—ensuring he has plenty of spares to last him for a few years!

These fingerless mitts feature a simple yet elegant 1x3 ribbing paired with a beautifully patterned gusset for style and comfort. To achieve the thumb and finger openings, I utilized my Phalangee technique, which I proudly published in Knitty’s Deep Fall 2012 issue. To further enhance your knitting experience, I also took the opportunity to record an easy-to-follow demonstration video showcasing this unique technique while making these mitts.
