Either/Or

fingerless mitts or full mittens worked from the thumb out to be custom fit

• for any weight yarn
• constructed seamlessly with increases & decreases
• great with stripes
• 3 different versions and 2 wrist designs
• color coded stitch markers to keep track easily

you'll need:
• any weight yarn, 2 or more colors for optional striping, 60-250 yards / 55-230 meters total
• needles sized to match your yarn, a long circular for magic loop or a set of double points, plus a couple extra double points
• an extra circular needle in a smaller size (to be used as a flexible stitch holder)
