The combination of twist structures creates a wonderfully textured top to these fingerless mittens that is suited for both men and women, depending on yarn choice.
Softer yarns and lighter colors will look decidedly feminine, while a rougher wool in natural or dark colors will be durable and masculine.
The thumb is fully fashioned with a gusset to be comfortable and form fitting.
Using just 100 yards of Worsted Weight yarn, this design is for a women’s medium/large that will fit most adult hands with a bit of stretch. It is a perfect use for small amounts of handspun or hand dyed fibers.
If necessary, you can use US #8 needles for a men’s large with a slightly less dense fabric.
