Dollar blew out the thumb opening of his previous pair of fingerless mitts. It's darnable but I wanted to knit a new pair:
The pattern is Easy Fingerless Mitts by Calypso Knits and it's free on Ravelry. I worked the largest, 40-stitch size with US 7 needles. The yarn is Plymouth Galway.
The dollar sign is duplicate stitched on after the gloves were complete, with a little bit of green Knit Picks Wool of the Andes.
Because of the thumb issue with the last pair, I worked a couple rounds of single crochet around the thumb opening for reinforcement.
Easy, fast. I miraculously didn't put the dollar sign on the same side of both mitts.
