Knit a Pair of Flip Mitts and Fingerless Gloves

Make yourself a nifty pair of flip mitts. They're hip, trendy and handier than a pocket on a shirt! Not only can you make these super awesome mitts for just about anyone from teen to adult, but you can forgo the finger portion and make some cool fingerless gloves. Technically, they're fingerless mittens but that just sounds weird.

They're knitted on double point needles, also known as DPN. Though this sounds intimidating, it really is very simple. You'll need to know how to knit to make this project, but knitting in the round is the same as knitting flat. Only difference is you don't flip your work back in forth; it's done a continuous circle.

The sizing for mittens, like socks or slippers, is somewhat general. The small size will fit someone with a smaller hand, medium is an average lady's hand, large is for an average man's hand, and extra large will fit a very large man's hand.
