Product Description
These fingerless mitts go with the Diamonds on Moss Hat and Cowl patterns, using a portion of the same cabled diamond on moss stitch motif.
The pair uses approximately 50 gr/100 yards of a light worsted weight yarn, and can be knit up in a few hours.
They’re perfect for when you just need a bit of warmth for your hands, but still need your fingers free for typing, texting, or other tasks that a full mitten might interfere with.
The size is for an Adult Medium, but there is enough stretch to fit a fairly large hand, and enough negative ease for a smaller hand. If you have very small hands, going down one needle size should work well.
There are both charts and fully written out directions for each hand (L and R)
Diamonds on Moss Fingerless Mitts by Helen Silva
Project Overview
The Diamonds on Moss Fingerless Mitts are a knitted accessory designed by Helen Silva as part of "The Diamonds on Moss Suite." These fingerless mitts coordinate with the Diamonds on Moss Hat and Cowl patterns, featuring a portion of the same decorative motif. Fingerless mitts are ideal for providing hand warmth while keeping fingers free for activities such as typing, texting, and other tasks where full mittens would be impractical.
What You'll Create
This pattern produces a pair of fingerless mitts sized for Adult Medium. The design incorporates the signature diamond motif from the Diamonds on Moss collection, offering both style and function. The mitts feature enough stretch to accommodate fairly large hands and sufficient negative ease for smaller hands, making them adaptable across a range of hand sizes.
Yarn and Materials
The Diamonds on Moss Fingerless Mitts require approximately 50 grams or 100 yards of light worsted weight yarn. Knitters may also use DK weight yarn depending on needle size adjustments. The pattern is worked on knitting needles appropriate to the chosen yarn weight. The modest yardage requirement makes this an efficient project that can be completed in just a few hours.
Knitting Techniques and Stitches
This fingerless mitt pattern employs fundamental knitting techniques suitable for beginner-level knitters. The design incorporates stitch work that creates the diamond motif central to the Diamonds on Moss collection. The construction allows for customization through needle size adjustments—going down one needle size is recommended for knitters with very small hands to achieve a better fit.
Sizing and Fit
The pattern is designed for Adult Medium hands but offers considerable flexibility. The built-in stretch accommodates larger hands comfortably, while the negative ease works well for smaller hands. Knitters can further customize the fit by adjusting needle size, providing options for a personalized wearing experience.
