Shapely Mitts Knitting Pattern

Description

Shapely Mitts Knitting Pattern is an extra-long finger-less mitts knitting pattern. These are excellent for layering to keep out the drafts that can find their way up your sleeves. They are also prefect for wearing indoors in chilly weather instead of a long sleeve shirt. This keeps your hands and wrists warm without the need for heavy garments. We have provided instructions for either Fingering weight or Sport weight yarn. Each pair uses about 55-60g of yarn, so it is a great use for a single skein of special hand dyed yarn or leftovers from other projects.
