The Aloe Fingerless Mittens pattern uses two-coloured dip stitches, a technique that looks hard, but is actually easy to get to grips with. The extra yarn this method uses creates even more squish and warmth.
The mittens are knitted from wrist to fingers. The pattern covers nine palm circumferences from small child to large adult (16cm/ 6.2″ to 24cm/ 9.5″).
