Simple Fingerless Mittens by Tania Barley are knit in the round from the cuff up to the top and have an arched gusset that allows for a very comfortable fit. The mittens have a simple colorwork design. It's a perfect first project for knitting with two colors. 

Materials:

164-219 yards worsted weight yarn, pictured in Lettlopi

ImagiKnitter Sally whipped these up these lovelies using Rios. She knit 2 pairs using 2 skeins of Rios. 

The mittens are knit using sizes US1.5 and 2.5 needles.
