Easy Fingerless Mitts, Free Pattern, Knitted Flat

These are a quick and easy knit!

Size: 8" around x 6" long

Yarn: Deborah Norville Serenity Chunky in Cotton Candy

Needles: Size 10½ Straights

Pattern:
Cast on 22 stitches.

Rows 1-5: Knit (Garter stitch).

Rows 6-20: Knit in Stockinette stitch, beginning with a purl row.

Rows 21-22: Knit.

Bind off (wrong side, makes a second row of "garter stitch" on the front).

Sew side seams, leaving an opening for the thumb. I left 7 rows unsewn, beginning on the 10th stockinette row up from the bind off (wrist end) but you can easily adjust which end of the mitts you want to make longer or shorter!
