“These fingerless mitts with long cuffs are an ideal stashbuster project,” says Outi Kater. “The four-stitch pattern repeat is easy to memorise, which makes them suitable for stranded colourwork novices. They are knitted in the round, and the thumb is worked by picking up stitches from a holder below the thumb opening and picking up and knitting stitches above the opening.” Outi has used six shades of Jamieson & Smith’s 2ply Jumper Weight wool.
