keyboard mitts
February 17, 2009you might remember these from this post.
My husband can often be found practicing organ in drafty old churches in the middle of the night. For that reason, our organist/pianist friends are always requesting this style of fingerless mitt. This pattern, based on a vintage men’s sock pattern, has become my standby. Simple and practical, this would also be a great pattern to practice cabling without a cable needle.
Yarn: worsted weight wool – approx. 130 yds (119 m)
Needles: size 7 US (4.5 mm) needles (either a set of double-pointed needles or a long circular for magic loop) or whatever size is needed to get gauge
Gauge: about 16 sts/2 in. (5 cm), not stretched and in pattern
Size: One size. Because these are stretchy and ribbed, they will fit many sizes. One pair I made fit women’s medium-men’s medium and another (with Cascade 220) ended up being women’s medium-men’s large. Go up or down a needle size as needed.

Pretty, I’ll have to keep those in mind for the next pair of fingerless gloves I make.
Pretty and cozy!
