Knitting Fingerless Mitts

My beginning knitting students will be working on Fingerless Mitts in my Knitting II class tonight. I love knitting fingerless mitts—they're fun, customize-able, and don't require a lot of yarn or time.

I wrote this pattern called "Sweet Louise Fingerless Mitts" (named for my MIL). They feature a cable that twists in the opposite direction for each mitt. There are a few other techniques that these mitts employ, so my students will have several new skills they can add to their knitting repertoire.

It will be a fun evening!
