Fingerless mitts



I've finished! They are so snug and warm and now I can sit at the computer and type with very little pain so I am very pleased! Thank you for the instructions Elizabeth!
They were so easy to knit up - on size 4.5mm needles cast on 36 stitches, knit 2 purl 2 rib for about 8 inches, cast off and sew up the seams leaving a gap for the thumb. I have enough wool left so I think I might make another pair up for a friend of mine.

Wow - they look really good. So glad the instructions were useful. I've found my mitts really useful during this cold weather.

I've never really understood the point of fingerless gloves/mitts. Don't your fingers still get cold though? That's my problem, cold fingers rather than wrists. Although maybe keeping the pulse warm helps?

Thank you! they are lovely and warm!
Sharon I find they do warm my whole hands up and still allow me the freedom of movement to enable me to type. I possibly wouldn't use them for outdoors though!

Well they're easy enough to knit so maybe I'll give a pair a go (once I have the time to knit something other than socks, that is)
