These convertible flip-top mitts, also known as glittens, are a fun and practical knitting project for experienced knitters. They are knit in the round on double-pointed needles (DPNs) and allow your fingers to flip free when you need them, making them perfect for texting, carrying items, or staying cozy without sacrificing mobility.
This pattern uses one standard ball of worsted weight yarn, which you can get at any big-box store. That’s more than enough to make a complete pair of mitts. The instructions fit small, medium, large, and extra-large hands, so you can make a pair for anyone from a teen to a man with large hands. You can follow the pattern to make full mittens or skip the finger portion to create trendy fingerless gloves. Fingerless mittens technically describe them, but that just doesn’t have the same cool factor.
Knit a pair of mitts that give your fingers the freedom they deserve. These mitts are hip, handy, and fun to wear. You can make a pair for yourself or as a gift and even sell the finished mitts or gloves. You are not permitted to redistribute or resell the pattern itself.
