Superhero Mitts

When my friend Linda saw these fingerless mitts she said they had a heroic look - hence the name!

The mitts are crocheted using slip stitches, which makes them particularly elastic. The decorative short-row pattern on the back of the hand also creates extra width for the arm and hand, so they are well-suited to those who have narrow wrists.

Besides, they make a nice little introductory project for short row crocheting.

The 12 pages pattern includes photo tutorials for

back loop only slip stitch (B)

short rows from the right and from the left

crocheted seam

invisible seam

The pattern is available in English (12 pages) and in German (12 pages).

Thanks to Linda for the name!
