Houndstooth Handwarmers

This is a warm fingerless mitt that uses a simple houndstooth pattern on the main section. It's a good introduction to stranded colourwork and should knit up quickly with DK yarn.

For a really professional finish, you can use the tubular cast-on/off techniques: Excellent tutorials can be found here and here respectively!

More details about the pattern can be found at A pile of sheep.
