The cute and versatile Forget-Me-Not Fingerless Gloves can turn into mittens. They are knitted top-down using double-pointed needles. Featuring an elegant twisted cable motif and Louisa Harding’s wonderful, shimmery Orille Yarns, these pretty and practical hand-warmers are perfect for gift-knitting! (And for keeping your own hands warm during winter knitting-sessions.)

These mittens are designed for four sizes, to fit hands measuring from 8.5-11cm across each palm. Shown in color Jade (4).
