September - December KAL - Fingerless Mitts

For the first time ever, we are presenting a matching KAL and CAL: Starburst Mitts for Knitters and Sparkler Mitts for Crocheters are the same pattern by the same designer engineered for each type of craft. These are advanced patterns using short rows. Something to challenge yourselves!

For those who want something simpler, for the Knitters we have Easy Fingerless Mitts.

Pattern available here.  Or find it on Ravelry.
