The Hand of Friendship Fingerless Mittens
Using 3.5mm needles
1 ball of Angora Merino Bigwigs Yarn (50g) DK (1 ball makes
two pairs)
I designed this simple pattern to show the beautiful yarn to
it’s best and I wanted the pattern to be knit flat as I am fastest that way and
had lots of these to make.
Key
K – Knit
P – Purl
St – stitches
Kfb – Knit into the
front and back of the same stitch
Yo – Yarn over

Leave long tail to sew up and cut yarn. Measure from the top edge and sew up the first 3cm and leave a 6cm gap for the thumb hole and continue to sew up to the bottom of the mitten.
If required soak and block then gift them or wear them.
You can make the mittens longer or shorter by changing how many times you repeat the 8 row pattern (in bold above) and or changing the length of the rib pattern at the beginning.
