I knitted a couple of these fingerless mittens last year and they all disappeared, gobbled up by adoring fans I like to think. So after a couple of recent froggings, I figured it’d be nice to knit up something super quick and easy and one that I could keep for myself this winter.

Just like last time, I have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to the thumbs, they don’t look right at all but they do sew up to become thumb-shaped holes and do keep the relevant bits warm so I’ve no real complaints.

The problem is, I’ve had a request for a set of fingerless gloves of the half finger style (like this pattern) and I’m not sure how I’m going to manage that when I can’t even cope with one thumb. But it’s always worth a go!
