Fingerless mitt pattern roundup, part 4 – plain & simple

Today, a dozen plain and simple mitts – because after all, you might be in a hurry, or need something easy, or you might just want to show off a beautiful yarn.

Why fingerless mitts? See the first post in the series.

  1. What a lovely selection of simple mitts. I'd not seen the Stevie Finglerless Mitts or the Welted Mitts before and both are going into the queue for a quick but slightly unusual mitt-knit.
    For leftover Malabrigo Worsted my favorite quick mitt pattern is Malabrigo Hand Thingies - they have a little stitch detail on the back of the hand, giving a bit of interest.

  2. Thanks Joy - the slip-stitch detail on those is very nice, and the pattern is free. Here's the link: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/malabrigo-hand-thingies
