Happy Friday! I want to start doing “Friday Freebies” and showcase free patterns of my own and other makers who I love and admire! So we will kick off this Friday with my new free pattern, the 30 Minute Fingerless Mittens.

These came to life because last weekend I had so many people asking about fingerless mittens, and I took 5 orders in one day! I came up with this quick pattern and here we are. 🙂 These are perfect for last minute Christmas gifts or if you have any shows before the holidays, you can easily stock up on a few pairs and you’ll be good to go!

Scroll below to follow along with this beginner friendly, fast, and fun project, or you can get the printable PDF copy in my Etsy or Ravelry pages.
