Starting the Colorwork Fingerless Mittens

In the final lesson, you'll create a well-fitting thumb for your fingerless mittens before Kate shows you techniques to achieve a polished finish.
Create three charming accessories to gift or keep for yourself. Knit along with designer Kate Atherley to make a cabled hat, a lacy cowl and a pair of colorful mitts.
Note: Kits are no longer available, but you can still knit along with Kate using your own yarn and the included patterns.
