Look, fingerless mitts!
Since I'd never actually made any mitts I thought these deserved their own post.
I used this simple pattern HERE and it's pretty much perfect. They fit snugly but not too tightly, and I adjusted the length a little because I quite like it when they are a bit longer and go up the arm under your coat or jumper.
I'm not keeping them, alas, they are a Christmas present for one of my stepsisters. I'm making two more pairs of mitts, but I'm using different patterns for them.
I've never really given knitted gifts before, so I'm a bit nervous. I hope they like them...
In my experience crafter gifts are always well received. They are filled with love as you make them. I love the colour of the yarn, perfect for the season. A great gift.
