Snowbird Fingerless Mitts

**DESIGN** Designed to compliment my [**Snowbird Scarf**][3] perfectly. These delicate mitts are worked in the round from the bottom-up. Simple 3-stitch cables hug long, narrow bands of slipped knit stitches. Both mitts are worked the same and feature a stockinette thumb gusset. The pattern is written in ONE ADULT SIZE that will fit an average adult-sized hand circumference. See finished measurements below. Try going up or down in needle sizes for larger or smaller mitts. The pattern is charted and also includes separate, row-for-row written instructions. All repeat sections appear in bold, italicized print for easy reading. **YARDAGE** Approximately 120 yards/110 meters of DK weight yarn ***Note: Yardage needed does NOT include a gauge swatch.*** **SHOWN IN** [Knit Picks Capra DK](/yarns/library/knit-picks-capra-dk) in Angelite Heather.
