The Ashley Fingerless Mitts are inspired by a pair of store bought mitts that my friend was wearing one evening. I loved the short length and the fur along the knuckles, so I had to make a crochet version.

You’ll enjoy the texture created by the cluster stitch, which creates a similar look to the star stitch, but it’s less dense.

This pattern includes instructions for three sizes to fit your hand snuggly, and instructions are included for adjusting the length of the cuff to your preference.

Have fun choosing whatever color of faux fur sparks joy and a coordinating worsted weight yarn.

This is a great stash busting project too!
