Directions for this project in Knitting New Mittens and Gloves. The interesting construction of the fingerless mitten is rooted in the shape of a Norwegian-style mitten called a brudevott or kirkevott, worn at weddings or to church. They are alternatively known as half-gloves with a tongue. Having the palm side open and the back of the hand covered has its advantages: the hand is partially shielded from the elements, yet you can still use your fingers to dig into pockets for keys, take a photo, or even knit outside in the cold. Stitches are provisionally cast on, the mitten is worked to the tip, then the provisional cast-on is undone and an I-cord bind-off is worked which continues into an I-cord coil forming the cuff. The cutaway section of the mitten is also edged in I-cord, giving it substantial shape. Shown in Wool of the Andes Bulky Beetle.
Needles: Sizes 10 and 10.5: dpns, set of 5
