Hands are often the first to suffer from the damp, chilly air, so a pair of fingerless mitts seems like just the right accessory. My daughter isn't prone to wearing gloves or mittens, but fingerless mitts have a bit more style. When she requested a pair to match her new pea coat, I was happy to oblige. Her only request was that they be extra soft, so together we chose this yarn in a delicate ice blue color.
We looked at several patterns and she liked this one best, so off I went. This pattern is easy to follow, and I successfully finished these after just a couple of nights of TV knitting.
She is very pleased with the outcome and I think they look great with her coat. Now I need a pair to keep my hands warm! Malabrigo, anyone?

These are beautiful and you took such a nice shot of them. Your photos make me so happy!
Your workmanship and photography make Fetchings so enticing! I want to put everything aside in favor of making a pair.
