The Luscious One Skein Cowl was a hit, so I decided to create the pattern for the Luscious One Skein Crochet Hat. And then I was on a roll, and before you know it I'd designed the matching Luscious One Skein Fingerless Mitts!

A Little Yarn for One Size Fits Most
Like the Cowl and Hat, the Luscious One Skein Fingerless Mitts take just one skein of yarn - actually, a bit less in this case! And they make a wonderful gift - alone, or paired with one of the matching items as a set! In these photos they're modeled by my 12 year old daughter, and just a bit oversize, but they fit me really well - so this pattern should fit most women in their teens to adults!

I got your address off of a pattern for the Blackberry Salad Striped Baby Bonnet. I have almost finished and need some help. Could you tell me what this means: Round 15. dc2togdecreases to end. Join to top of 1st decease with sl st. Thank you so much
Phyllis Peterson
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Phyllis! That means to work dc2tog over the next two sts, then dc2tog over the next 2 sts, then dc2tog over the next two sts... all the way to the end of the round. At the end of the Round this gives you half as many sts as in the previous round. Does that help?
Teresa says
Hi!
Could you please help me, if I need to make it little bit bigger, shall the number of the beginning FDC be divisible by three or it doesn't matter??
Thanks 🙂
Tamara Kelly says
Yes, divisible by 3 - you've got it! 😀
MARRIE says
Oh Tamara,your daughter have an excellent complexion!..hahah!..♥
Mary says
LOVE this pattern! Just wondering why, if you don't do the FDC, you can ch 48, but if you start with the FDC, you start with 18 stitches? Does that mean that every row will have 48 stitches instead of 18? (Forgive my lack of knowledge--I'm still a newbie at this!)
Tamara Kelly says
Ack! I'm sorry, that was typo that I fixed in the middle of the blog migrating to a new webhost and my correction didn't move along with the rest of the site. It should be ch 18 as well! I'll go fix it (for good this time!) now! Thanks for the heads up!
Jeannie says
Wonderful pattern ty. Wondering if it is possible to make some type of flap that would cover fingers and cold then be pushed back when needing fingerless. Ty so much for all you do.
janet says

carrie says
Boot cuffs!!! That's what I started out looking for when I stumbled on this set and fell inlove.... any chance you have made them yet? 🙂
Thanks for sharing your ideas!
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Carrie! Shoot, not for this one yet, though I do have my first ever pair of boot cuffs coming out next Friday! I'll have to get ones for this set on the list!
teri says
do you have crochet fingerless gloves, and cowl patterns fit for a child 3-6? Thank you!
Tamara Kelly says
I'm afraid this stitch pattern doesn't allow for sizing that small, but making them in a thinner yarn might work really well!
Susan says
What yarn did you use here? The colors are beautiful? If it is the Lion Unique in grapevine, what happened to all the green? Did you just cut those sections out?
Tamara Kelly says
It's the Unique in Grapevine! Each skein is a little different, I didn't cut anything. 🙂
LIsa says
How do you start this project? Chain?
Tamara Kelly says
It begins with a round of FDC in place of the chain, but there are alternate instructions to begin with the chain in the bullet points. 🙂
Lorraine Spotts says
Do you have any videos on a complete twist for a moebuis cowl. I really want to get it right the first time so that I don't have to keep starting over. I really appreciate it, Thanks an enjoy your weekend.
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Lorraine! I do not - that's a good idea! Thank you for that, I'm sorry I don't have one ready for you now!
Bern says
If at all possible, PLEASE make a YouTube tutorial of these mittens, even better, the whole set. Please.
Thanks!!
Gert Wister says
I don't see any skipped stitches in Round 3. Isn't that the second FPDC/BPDC row? Am I missing something?
Tamara Kelly says
There aren't any skipped sts made in Rnd 3, but in Rnd 4 you do skip some of the Rnd 3 sts... is that what you mean?
