As long as you use a DK weight yarn, you could use oddments of hand-dyed, self-striping or textured yarns for your little thumb-flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese fingerless mitts are worked in the round. They start and end with k1, p1 rib, and the ‘Buds in May’ stranded pattern is worked from a chart, leaving the thumb sts on waste yarn to be returned to later. Finally, the thumb is worked in a contrast colour on stitches picked up above and below the waste yarn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstructions are given for using DPNs, but you could use a small circular or the magic loop method if preferred.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSizes: 17 (19, 21.5)cm or 6.5 (7.5, 8.5) ins in circumference.
