Welcome to my new series of hand knit projects! Look for the ‘♥’ as this signifies it is a World Central Kitchen pattern. The purchase of any ♥ pattern means half of your purchase goes towards emergency food and solutions to growing stronger communities and economies.

I never lose sight of the fact that just being is fun.

This is a pattern for a pair of mitts/fingerless gloves. Both are worked the same, from the cuff up and in the round, using the Fair-Isle knitting technique.

The Argyle patterning (over 14 rounds) is worked with 3 strands per round, however you may work with 2 colours (MC & CC3) and add the 3rd colour (CC2) with Duplicate stitch.
