A couple of bloggers asked about the fingerless mittens in the last post.
One pointed out that I hadn’t mentioned yarn or needles.
Oops – that was a slight slip up on my part.
I use 8ply/DK – size 4mm/UK8 needles and cast on 34 stitches – it knits up quickly and isn’t too bulky on the hands. The pattern is for an adult ladies hand but you will most likely find it will need to be a bit bigger in the wrist for a man so just add more stitches – because I use 2×2 rib I add in multples of two – then knit the stocking stitch part longer
It usually takes just under 50grms for a pair and I normally just use acrylic but if you can find resonably priced pure wool then go for it as they will be deliciously warm.
Hope that helps

I absolutely need some of those fingerless mittens. What if we don't knit. Do you sell them?

I love the fingerless gloves, I made a pair in red. Because red keeps you warmer. They are so easy anyone can learn to make them. Are we going to be warm or what!
