Snug & Trendy Knit Fingerless Mittens Patterns For Comfort & Versatility

Knit fingerless mittens are the perfect project for anyone looking to keep their hands warm while still being able to text, type, or hold a hot cup of coffee. Making these cozy accessories can be simple and fun, even for beginners. With a bit of yarn, some basic knitting know-how, and a touch of patience, you can whip up a pair of these stylish mittens.

Knit Fingerless Mittens

Materials:

Loops and Threads Heathered Tweed yarn in Mero and Gray Blush colors
Caron Simply Soft in White color
A 46 needle Addie machine or a 48 needle Central machine

Cuff (Solid or Striped):

Align the black/white needles to the yarn feeder and select a contrast color waste yarn.
Use a drawstring cast-on: alternate in front of and behind the needles all the way around without tension.
Knit 7 rows with the waste yarn (or as many as you're comfortable with).
Set the row counter to zero.
Change to Gray Blush yarn and knit 12 rows for the cuff (for striped cuff variation: 4 rows Gray Blush, 2 rows White, 4 rows Gray Blush, 2 rows White).

Mitten Body:

Change to the Mero yarn and knit 4 rows.
Change to the White yarn and knit 2 rows.
Repeat the above two steps once more (4 rows Gray Blush, 2 rows White, 4 rows Mero, 2 rows White).
Knit another section identical to step 8 (4 rows Mero, 2 rows White, 4 rows Gray Blush, 2 rows White).
Finish with 4 more rows in Mero (up to row 40).

Closure:

Switch to waste yarn without worrying about tension, and knit a few more rows to secure the stitches.
Use a flat edge technique, such as a braided close, with a crochet hook for the bind-off. Do not use a Kitchener Stitch here.
Once complete, remove the project from the machine carefully, helping the last loops if necessary.

Finishing:

Stretch the mitten out in every direction.
Sew up the project sides to create the fingerless mitten shape, ensuring you leave space for the thumbhole at the appropriate row (this may require trying on the mitten).
Use the invisible seam method to sew the sides together for a stretchy fit over the wrist.
Sew the second mitten following the same steps to create a matching pair.
