Pattern Notes
A new addition to the Snow Fern Collection. Designed to match my Snow Fern Hat (DK): https://whiletheyplay.etsy.com/listing/1643032781/snow-fern-hat-dk-knit-pdf-pattern
These fingerless mitts are worked in DK weight for a fast weekend project! Worked in the round with cables that slowly taper outwards and inwards, creating fern-like shapes up the front of the mitts. These mitts feature a gusseted thumb, tubular cast on and sewn tubular bind off. The pattern is written in ONE ADULT SIZE that will fit an average adult-sized hand circumference. The pattern is charted and also includes separate written instructions. All repeat sections appear in bold print for easy reading.
