Deep Forest Fingerless Mittens combine timeless elegance with everyday practicality. Knitted in a soft, DK weight sock yarn, they feature a striking cable that flows across the back of the hand. The clever Indian thumb gusset ensures a snug yet flexible fit that stays comfortably in place. Perfect for crisp autumn walks or breezy spring days, these mitts keep your hands warm while leaving your fingers free for all the little things you love to do. The cable motif is quick and satisfying to knit, and the pattern includes three sizes so you can create your perfect fit. Pair them with the matching Deep Forest Socks for a beautifully coordinated set.
