Warm Tweedy Fingerless Mittens

 

Use 2 strands of DK yarn (8ply) knitted together ~ or any combination of yarns to make a total of 16ply .

I used 1 strand of DK plus 2 strands of 4ply               This gives a nice ‘tweedy’ look

7 ½ mm needles

For a Woman -

Cast on 21sts

1^st Row:           K1, *k3, p1, repeat from * to last 4sts, k4

2^nd Row:           K2, *p1, k3 repeat from * last 3sts, p1, k2

Repeat these two pattern rows 18 times more – or until around 9” (23cm) – or adjust to the length you require,

 39^th Row:        K1, *k3, p1, repeat from * to last 4sts, k4

Cast off in pattern.

Sew up the side seam, leaving a gap for the thumb. Darn away loose ends.

Make another mitten the same.
