Rugged

Introducing our unisex fingerless mitt pattern, available in three sizes to accommodate hand circumferences of 7", 8", and 9" (17.5, 20, and 23 cm). These versatile mitts combine both style and function, perfect for keeping your hands warm while allowing your fingers to remain free for everyday tasks.

The rugged design works up quickly using cozy, thick yarn, yet offers a fitted and structured shape that looks great on everyone. This easy stitch pattern is ideal for that special skein of hand-dyed yarn you’ve been saving. In fact, you might even be able to create these fingerless mitts from leftover yarn! The small size requires less than 100 yards, making it a fantastic way to use up your stash.

The slipped stitch pattern enhances the beauty of your color variations, ensuring the designs blend together seamlessly, rather than clashing. And speaking of comfort, this pattern features a handy thumb gusset, allowing for greater flexibility and ease of movement.

Materials:

Yarn: We recommend using Malabrigo 'Twist', a luxurious 100% Baby Merino yarn (150 yards / 137 meters, 3.5 ounces / 100g) in the beautiful 'Piedras' colorway, or choose between 85 (95, 105) yards (78, 87, 97 meters) of Bulky or Aran weight yarn for customization.

Needles:
For this project, you will need US Size 4 (3.5 mm) needles (or your preferred size to obtain gauge). You can use either a set of double-pointed needles or your favorite needles for small circumference circular knitting.

Gauge:
Achieve a gauge of 18 stitches and 24 rounds = 4"/10 cm when using US #4 (3.5 mm) needles in the specified stitch pattern.

Whether you're looking for a quick gift or a stylish accessory for yourself, these fingerless mitts are the perfect solution. Plus, they’re a great way to practice your knitting skills while achieving stunning results. Download this free knitting pattern today and start creating your own cozy mitts!
