Inspired by The Outlander Knits
Inspired by the arm warmers that Claire wears with her Carolina shawl in Outlander season 4.
You can wear these gloves as arm warmers, also.
Claire is seen wearing them as hand and wrist warmers, but in my design, I left a gap for my thumb so they can be worn either way.
They can be made in any color, I made mine in brown natural wool, so not only are they warm they are really soft to wear.

Outlander Claire Fingerless Mittens
The Outlander-inspired gloves are perfect for the colder weather, as they have been knit with medium weight yarn (04), in La Mia natural wool (100g) color brown H5.
Using knit and purl stitches, you will create ribbing, knit flat – either on straight or circular needles (but not joining in the round).
The thumb hole is explained in the pattern and is easy to do; you just leave a gap when you seam the mittens.
