A fingerless mitten pattern with super-flexible sizing, funky colours, and a great opportunity to show off your favourite buttons. The mittens are knitted flat, and then wrapped around the arm. The location of the buttons determine the size. For the thumb, instructions are given for either knitting flat, or in the round. Crossed and twisted stitches provide the necessary elasticity to keep the mittens in place and prevent them from sagging.

Very flexible sizing: The mittens will fit up to about 22cm (8½”) hand circumference, 20cm (8”) wrist circumference, and 27cm (10½”) arm circumference at about 12cm (5¾”) away from wrist.

Meters/yardage is given in full Regia skeins (1 skein of each colour).

The pattern provides detailed instructions (9 pages) with illustrations.

With lots of thanks to my wonderful test knitters!
