Flopsy Mopsy Mitts Knitting Pattern

These mitts are knit from the cuff up with increases worked in purl for the thumb gore. The background is all purls and the pattern stitch is an easy faux cable eyelet pattern that doesn’t require a cable needle. An optional large eyelet made just before binding off adds a finger opening for the middle finger to help hold the mitts in place and keep your fingers extra toasty.
