Double Down Fingerless Mitts

Note from Janet: My sister gave me this yarn in a bag of wool yarn for felting when she requested another pair of slipper socks, and this was a brand new ball that she told me I could just have. I’ve had it for almost a year and never knew what to do w/ it, but I made my wham bam cowl and realized this matches it pretty well.

I wanted to stick w/ a garter stitch pattern so doubled the yarn and cranked out some fingerless mitts in an evening! Again, I just saved the seaming for this morning. I could have done them in the round, but I was happy to just knit 2 squares while I watchedAndy Williams Christmas specials :)

More fingerless mitts, but for me!

Note from Janet: I love fingerless mitts, but I think this is the first pair I've actually made for myself! I got this yarn from my sister for Christmas and made these to go with my black fleece jacket for fall and warmer winter days. (huh? what are those?!?!) I've also been known to wear them in the house while I'm knitting :)  The colors got a little funny with the hand increases, but I still love the colors and the pattern, although I think I'll frog them to make them longer over my fingers. They just go to my knuckles now.

crazy long fingerless mitts

Note from Janet: These truly are "fingerless" because you can hardly see my fingers in them!! I made my sister-in-law a regular size pair for Christmas and she LOVES them and wears them all the time. When we went running together one weekend, she was wearing them backwards, with the longer wrist part over her fingers! So when she requested another pair, I told her I'd make the fingers longer this time, and that they are!

Note from Janet: Super easy pattern and I love that I can make them to match an equally easy garter knit scarf!
