One good thing about using sock yarn to knit fingerless gloves, is that you will almost certainly only need a single skein. In fact, the designer of these Seashell Mitts says, “...you can definitely make two pairs from one 100-gram skein and have enough leftover for a pair of baby booties.” The pattern is worked in the round using the magic loop method.

One good thing about free-knit fingerless glove patterns that are worked flat is that they can be knit sideways. It’s not really any more challenging than knitting them up normally, and I like the uniqueness of the vertical lines. Despite their slightly odd construction, this pattern is a pretty good pick for beginners, since you can make them with just knit and purl stitches.
