My fingerless mittens

Hi! ^^
I love knitting and crocheting, and other handmade, so for this fall I made some pairs of new, colorful mittens. They're for other person but I would like to make another for my own ^^
I hate cold days... brrrr.


What do You think? ^^
btw. "śliweczka" in polish means plum.

*****
Edit ^^
This pattern was born in my mind while doing it.

I using needle nr 5 [5mm], and various violet and purple acrylic yarns- Oliwia, Yarn Art and Sonia.

Pattern Stitches:
K1, P1, Ribbing [for cable]

Row 1:
*k1, p1; rep from *= 28 "chains"
Repeat Row 1
12 more times.

Change the color [yarn]. This is time for cable.
You can find easy pattern for simple cable ^^

And after you'll knitting this part [ex. 16-20 rows] it's time for repeat row 1, until it'll have proper size- I repeat row 1 5 more times.

It's too hard for describe, because my English is not good enough... :(

Good luck! ^^'

I'm looking for a good fingerless mittens pattern as well. Can you share this pattern?

These are beautiful. I have done several pairs of simple k2 p2 wristers, but now am inspired to do these. Thanks so much. Do you live in Poland? Where?

Has anyone made the smocked fingerless mitts by Tonia Barry from the 60 Quick Knits book?
I am stuck on a step and I need help figuring out what to do next.
On page 64, thumb placement, it says to work sts 1-4 twice which would make 8 stitches and put them on waste yarn, and then slip these 8 sts back to LH needle, then with working yarn, work sts 1-4 twice more. Continue to follow chart to rnd 8, then repeat rnds 1-8 once more, then rnds 1-4 once. Work in k2, p2 rib for 2 rnds. Bind off in rib.
Now my problem: When I've made mittens in the past, once I put stitches onto waste yarn I leave them there until I have finished the hand and go back and pick them up and make the thumb. This pattern seems to say that I work the 8 stitches for two times more and then continue on with the rest of the row following the chart. And also, why would I have 16 stitches when I begin the thumb?? Live sts? Not something I know either. If someone can help me figure this out so I can finish the mitt I will be so grateful. I love the pattern, it looks awesome. I am just not able to finish it as I have tried almost everything and don't know what is right. Thank you.

Thank you for posting! I made a similar version based on your pattern and they turned out wonderfully! I even made two more pairs for my sisters for Christmas and they regularly get compliments on them.
