I just made a pair of these and I love them ! the front post double crochet makes them so snug and warm without having to use bulky yarn for the same effect.
So easy and quick. I will be making more….
Wonderful! Yes people ask me all the time if they are double stranded but the fpdc really makes them nice and cozy!
The fpdc on these make them so toasty warm. I made these last spring and now I’m ready to make another pair. Thanks for this pattern!
I have to tell you Thank You for the Up North Fingerless Mittens. I just finished my first mitt and i am in love. I finally found my Christmas gifts for all my friends. Now to make a boat-load more!
Thank you and a very early Merry Christmas to you and your family
Thanks so much Karen, that makes me happy to hear! Merry Christmas!
Thanks so much! I’m glad you are enjoying the pattern 🙂 Merry Christmas to you and your family also!

US size.
Ch 10 for the wrist…doesn’t even stretch to cover 1/2 wrist…is this correct ?
I have made many fingerless gloves, and this is by far my favorite pattern. Thank you, Karen. They are very warm, and I don’t have to use chunky yarn. Also, there’re easy to make and work up quick!
Oops! I meant Laura, not Karen, I’m so sorry.
