Free Pattern

Many of you have asked for the fingerless mitts pattern that I use to knit the mitts that I sell in the shop...I like this pattern because it's easy and the ribbing allows for "one size fits most" kind of thing...


This is a "bare bones" pattern,,,,if you neeed help with it, just stop in at Loose Ends..
