Basic Fingerless Mitts

Last time, I posted a pattern for Fingerless Mitts inspired by the mitts featured on the STARZ television show, Outlander. (Great show, great book series by Diana Gabaldon.) Today I'm sharing a great basic pattern that knits up fast, is easy to learn, and lends itself well to some awesome variations.

These Basic Fingerless Mitts take only a couple of ounces of yarn and some basic knitting know-how (you only have to know how to knit and purl!)

My daughters enjoyed modeling these mitts, and loved wearing them during the cold winter months (here in South Carolina, that was only the month of December). I find them very warm and comfortable while playing the violin and viola, and I wear them all the time.

Attempted to film a reel while spinning the 2nd ply, but the app ate the draft, so I have to start over tomorrow. Wound the first skein into a ball. Wound up the 3rd skein into a ball for the kids' hat project . Crocheting Finished the second scarf for the SU scarf project . Just have to weave in ends and finish patterns. Started a hat with the left over yarn, but I don't like it, so I'll probably just put up the rest of the yarn for another day. Social Media Really struggled with trying to get posts onto both Facebook and Intagram at the same time. Have decided to post to Instagram first, because it will automatically post to Facebook, as well. It is supposed to work the other way, too, but it is not working that way.

Outlander Inspired Fingerless Mitts

I love fingerless gloves. They're especially handy keeping my hands warm while playing the violin outdoors in the winter. I had crocheted a pair several years ago, but one went by way of the sock trick (you know - you put two in the wash, and only one comes out?). Anyway, around my third time through the Outlander TV series, I started taking more notice of the outfits and accessories the women were wearing. Since I had a need, I decided to have another go at a pair of fingerless gloves, and this is what I came up with. Enjoy! I started by measuring around my palm, at the base of my index and pinky fingers. I measured my right hand, since it's a little bigger. In fact, I couldn't find my tape measure, so my daughter put a piece of washi tape around my hand, then stuck it to a piece of paper. I cast on my stitches until they were the same length, then added two stitches for the seam. Working in a flat piece, I started with about an inch of seed stitch, then separa...
