Winter is coming!!! Lets knit some fingerless mittens. These are knit flat, there is no left and right to these so they are even easier to make, and if you are anything like me, to wear. I'm easily confused. :) They are also knit from finger(less) bits to wrist.

If you want to make your mittens come further down your arms, just keep repeating rows of stocking stitch after row 36 until you have the desired length.
Cast / Bind off leaving a fairly long tail.
Using the tail thread the darning needle and mattress stitch the two sides together until you reach the first set of stitch markers, fasten and weave in end. With a fresh piece of yarn restart your mattress stitch at the second set of stitch markers and continue until you reach the top. Fasten off and weave in ends. Make sure not to stitch between the stitch markers or you won't have anywhere for your thumbs to poke out of.
Make another.
Kapow! You have a lovely pair of fingerless mittens. Hooray!
