Camp Out Fingerless Mittens

Finished size: 7 inch hand circumference and 9.5" long.

Yarn: Noro Kureyon (100% wool; 100 m [100 yd]), 1 skein.
Needles: 4.5 mm (Size 7): set of double pointed needles (dpn).
Notions: 2 stitch markers, waste yarn, crochet hook, tapestry needle.
Gauge: 18 stitches = 4 inches in rounds in Stockinette stitch.

Notes:
These fingerless mitts are worked in two directions:
The hand portion is worked flat in garter stitch. Then stitches are picked up and worked
in rounds for the thumb and wrist portion.

Slip the first stitch (with yarn in front) of every row when working garter stitch for the
hand section. It makes picking up stitches easier.

dpn - double pointed needle
k - knit
pm - place marker

together
