Fingerless Mitts
Yarn: Classic Elite Waterspun (discontinued) 39 g. total (approx. 108 yards)
Needles: 3.75 mm (US 5) dpns at first and then moved to two at a time on two circulars after I closed the thumb holes.
Pattern:Hand/Wristwarmers from Last Minute Knitted Gifts
Gauge:
Size: length 8" to fit my teenage son's large hands
Begun:
Completed:
Notes:My first but certainly not my last knitted mitts. Making two at once on two circulars from the same ball of yarn enabled me to make them exactly the same. I liked the pattern but next time I'll put it a thumb gusset to give the thumb some warmth. I wish this yarn weren't discontinued because it was a delight to work with and my son loves the mitts.
