Those mornings when the darkness begins to stay longer and longer, the air turns crispy and the fog makes everything look a bit surreal. I remember the humid, foggy mornings in Finland, when one could hardly see the road ahead. Now I live on top of a hill, and the fog hardly arrives here. But those mornings, when I look out of the window, and the clouds of fog float between the hills, they feel like magic. Then soon the Mediterranean sun fades away the fog and reveals the autumn colors. These fingerless mitts are worked cuff up and they have an Indian thumb gusset. The simple ribbing-like pattern is created by using increases and decreases. **Finished measurements** S (M) L Mitten circumference 14 (15.5) 17.5 cm / 5.5 (6) 7” Hand length 13 cm / 5” To be worn with 0 – 4 cm / 0 – 1.5” negative ease. The ribbing-like pattern is stretchy so more than average negative ease is suggested.
