The Maple Bourbon Mitts are unisex fingerless gloves that are knit in the round from wrist to fingers, using less than 200 yards of worsted weight yarn. The Mitts are ambidextrous, so they can be worn interchangeably on either the left or right hand. The pattern instructions are written to knit one Mitt at a time. 

Choose from three finished sizes - Small (Medium, Large)

Small: 8”/20cm length x 7.5”/19cm circumference
Medium: 8.5”/22cm length x 8”/20cm circumference
Large: 9”/23cm length x 8.5”/22cm circumference

The wrist cuff is worked in K2, P2 ribbing using smaller needles. The hand and fingers are worked in the Simple Seed Stitch Pattern using larger needles. The thumb gusset is also worked in the round in Stockinette Stitch using larger needles.
