More Than Just Socks Knit Fingerless Mittens Pattern PDF

🔥 That pretty skein deserves a little time out of the stash! The More Than Just Socks Knit Fingerless Mittens pattern pairs broken rib texture with cozy cuffs and shaped thumbs for a colorful accessory that leaves your fingers free. With two sizes and linked technique videos, it’s a satisfying project for knitters ready to put their knitting-in-the-round skills to work.

✨ Features

• Two sizes included: S–M and L–XL, with guidance for measuring your hand and choosing your fit.
• Textured broken rib: A repeating two-round stitch pattern gives the fabric its knit-and-purl detail.
• Cozy ribbed cuffs: A 3-inch cuff adds coverage at the wrist.
• Shaped thumb gussets: Built into the knitting for a defined thumb fit.
• Open fingertips: Keep your hands covered while you type, turn pages, or reach for your coffee.
• Technique video support: Linked demonstrations help with casting on, knitting, purling, binding off, and more.

🧵 How It’s Made

These fingerless mittens are knit in the round from cuff to fingers using double-pointed needles. You’ll begin with 1x1 ribbing, move into broken rib for the hand, and shape the thumb gusset with increases. The thumb stitches rest on a holder while you finish the hand and its ribbed edge. Then you’ll return to the held stitches, work the thumb in the round, bind off, and weave in your ends.

💖 Why You’ll Love It

Sock yarn gets to have fun beyond your feet! The pink speckled sample shows how beautifully a colorful yarn can play with a little knit-and-purl texture.

The broken rib repeat gives you a rhythm to settle into, while the thumb shaping keeps the project interesting. Make a pair for chilly mornings, a cool office, or a handmade gift that can become part of someone’s everyday routine.

📏 Sizing

Both sizes are included, so you can choose the fit for yourself or the person on your gift list.

• S–M: To fit a hand circumference of 6–7 inches [15–18 cm]. Finished mitten circumference: 6½ inches [16.5 cm].
• L–XL: To fit a hand circumference of 8–9 inches [20–23 cm]. Finished mitten circumference: 8½ inches [21.5 cm].

Finished circumference is measured with the ribbing slightly stretched.

Measure around the knuckles and palm to select your size. The pattern recommends a snug fit rather than a loose fit.
