The stretchy Bamboo stitch makes these fingerless mitts great for gifting as they fit pre-teens to adult men. Make them short or long, with contrasting cuffs or no thumbs – it’s your choice!

Please use a stretchy DK or heavy sport weight yarn. A wool or wool mix yarn is recommended for this pattern, pure hemp or bamboo is not suitable.
