Fingerless Knitted Mittens

(The music begins)
'Tis the season to knit mittens.  Fa la la la...  Well, you get the drift.

So far January hasn't been overly cold.  Perhaps you would like to make a pair of fingerless mittens, also sometimes called gauntlets or cuffs.  Lion Brand Yarn offers this free beginner pattern called "Learn to Knit Cuffs".

Let's say you are pretty good at knitting.  These are called Norwegian Wristers.

For the experienced knitter, you could try these Mocha Latte Mitts.

You can find these patterns at http://cache.lionbrand.com/.  Remember to look in www.ravelry.com, www.crochetpatterncentral.com, and http://www.knittingpatterncentral.com/

As the winter settles in a little more, we'll explore some mittens that keep the fingers warm, too.

Happy crafting,

Kathi
