A fairly straightforward pattern for fingerless mitts made with sock yarn, that can be easily adapted to other yarn weights or additional sizes.

The pattern might be simple, but due to the stretchiness of the ribbing, it will fit most hand sizes and can easily be adjusted by adding a multiple of 5 stitches. Go bold with a bright, variegated skein of yarn, or use a neutral, solid colour, make them your own.

Materials :
120 – 150 m / 130 – 165 yards of fingering weight yarn
2.5 mm or 3 mm (US size 1 or 2) set of dpns or circular needle for magic loop

Gauge:
Gauge isn’t all that important, due to the stretchiness of the ribbing pattern.
Use a needle size that gives you a nice fabric.

Sizes:
women’s S/L
