Experiencing the mighty bison up close at the Custer State Park and Wind Cave National Park, and learning about the local settler and Native American history of the Black Hills during a summer camping trip to South Dakota were the inspiration for these unique beaded fingerless mitts.

The beads are pre-strung in a Native American inspired design and then knitted in for a bracelet like look. A knitted feather design and picot edge round out these very dressy and eye-catching fingerless mitts.

Cuff only instructions included too but yarn is not sufficient for both, mitts & cuffs.

Also included are instructions for a rib edging instead of picot edging.

5 sizes (Ladies S, Ladies M, Ladies L/Men S, Men M, Men L); 71/2”/19 cm long; length adjustable.

Notions:

  • 1 (1, 1, 2, 2) skeins of Buffalo Yarn Co Half Tracks
