Pattern Notes:
These fingerless mitts are worked seamlessly in the round from the cuff up, with stranded colorwork throughout. I used a 9” circular needle for the body of the mitts and DPNs for the thumb.

Charts show colors as featured in sample, play around with whatever colors you love, and a dark background helps the other colors to pop. These charts can be used for colorwork or duplicate stitch. If you choose duplicate stitch, you do not need to change your needle size at any time. If you choose colorwork, you will have to go down a needle size for stockinette stitch section.
