Willow Garden Fingerless Mitts

These soft and warm fingerless mitts make a great go-to winter accessory or cherished gift. Perfect for adding extra warmth while still keeping fingers free for everyday tasks like typing, knitting, using your phone, drawing, etc. This pattern is adorned with a decorative motif that was inspired by lattice style garden fences made of braided willow, which adds just enough detail to feel special. Knitted in the round from the bottom up with a 2×2 rib cuff, decorative stitch pattern at the wrist (both written instructions and a chart are included for the decorative stitch), stockinette for the hand section, another decorative stitch pattern at the top of the hand that mirrors the one at the wrist, and a 2×2 rib top cuff and thumb that end just before the knuckles. Italian cast on and Italian sewn bind off are used in this pattern, but any other stretchy cast on and/or bind off may be used if preferred.
