Fingerless Mitts Times 3

your hands. BY LEE MEREDITH

Ialways have cold hands, and being a crafter, photographer,
and all-around doer of stuff, I feel trapped when my fingers
are covered. So fingerless mitts are the perfect solution.

Way back in my early knitting years, I developed my super-easy, fingerless, shapeless, fat and squishy “ninja mitts,” as I’ve always called them. Then, when I dove into recycled crafting, I cut up some old socks and came up with a couple of versions of sock mitts, which are warmer than you’d think, and totally comfortable.

These mitt designs are great for finger mobility, can be pulled up over balled fists for extra warmth, or can be taken off the thumb and pushed back onto wrists for eating or added dexterity. Once you make yourself a pair or three, with all that mitt agility you will indeed feel like a ninja!
