K.I.S.S (Keep it simple, silly!)Fingerless Mitts
... a free pattern for you.
The goal was a super easy pattern for fingerless mitts. Just 2 needles, no ribbing, no fancy footwork! These mitts are so easy. They are a big hit. I have already made 7 pairs! They knit up that quickly!
All you need to know is basic knit and purl. If you want stripes you need to know how to do that as well. I looked and found a disturbing shortage of tutorials for a basic stripe. I will have to remedy that soon.
The pattern looks complicated with all the different sizes, so if you want it simplified, you can download the .pdf files in individual sizes.

GAUGE
13 sts = 4 inches/10 cms

PATTERN NOTES
Optional Stripes: Work as many (even) rows as you like of color A, then at the beginning of a knit row, switch to color B, wrap the ends over the working yarn for each of the next few stitches, this weaves the ends in as you go. If you don't know how to do this, come back soon for a tutorial.
