Blessed Fingerless Mitt

The Blessed Fingerless Mitts began as a gift for my mother’s co-worker. With all this dear lady had been through that year, my mother wanted to give her something special — handmade and straight from the heart. Wear these simple, functional mitts while running errands or on your way to work; they’re worked in a combination of easy stitches with just a hint of texture, so they come together quickly and keep your hands cozy while your fingers stay free. 💛
