Pattern description from Interweave Knits, Holiday 2007:
Donna Kay knitted her half-finger Little Gems Mitts entirely in the round for ease of working, with an afterthought thumb added during finishing. A tiny stranded color-work motif showcases bright Shetland colors shifting against a cool gray background. Deep, clingy ribbing at the cuffs add practical warmth.

Finished Size: 7-1/2” circumference, to fit a woman’s small to medium hand.

Yarn: Jamieson’s Shetland Spindrift 2-ply (100% wool; 115 yd [105 m]/25 g): #122 granite (MC), 2 balls; #788 leaf, #1300 aubretia, #168 Clyde blue, #800 tartan, #1260 raspberry, and #676 sapphire, 1 ball each. Yarn distributed by Simply Shetland.

Needles: Size 1 (2.5 mm): set of 4 double-pointed (dpn). Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.

Notions: Marker (m); waste yarn; stitch holders, tapestry needle.
