Carbon Fingerless Mitts- FREE PATTERN
These beautiful fingerless mitts are worked in the round with no need for seaming. Simple slipped stitches are worked and picked up on alternating rows to produce an eye catching texture as well as a thermal fabric to keep your hands nice and toasty. These mitts are perfect for any style, casual enough to wear with anything, and fancy enough to compel your friends to ask "How did you do that?"
Note: Theses mitts are designed to be fitted snugly around the wrist, but make sure you do not knit too tight! The slipped stitches need to be loose and relaxed to ensure some elasticity.
Make 2 mitts exactly the same!
