Skully Fingerless Mitts Knit pattern by Nadine Borovicka http://Nadinescrafts.blogspot.com http://Nadinespatterns.blogspot.com/ I needed a project for a teenager's graduation party. I crossed my fingers and hoped that skulls were still in fashion and tried my first attempt at duplicate stitch. Materials: Size 4 DPNs Caron Simply Soft or similar yarn of your choice in two colors Abbreviations: DPN- Double pointed needles MC - Main color AC- Accent/ Duplicate stitch color K - Knit P- Purl M1 - Make 1 (increase method) Cast on 40 stitches. Place marker for the beginning of round (slip this marker every time you come to it). Join in the round and work around in K2, P2 ribbing for 4 inches (or longer if you like) Knit around for 3 rows.

Duplicate stitch skull onto back of mitts. Make sure to try on the mitts and find the center for the design. Trust me. Just laying the mitt flat and putting it on will give you a way off center design. Also feel free to graph out whatever design you want and put it on the back.
