In looking through all the fingerless glove patterns I’ve made note of lately, and zeroing in on these faves among faves of the textured variety, I noticed three of the four have a proportion in common that I love — slightly longer than usual at both ends, for a healthy amount of coverage and extra cozy appearance. The fourth pair goes even farther! And yet I love the variation in forms of knitting these represent—
TOP: Heyworth by Melissa Schaschwary have a simple allover knits-and-purls texture
SECOND: Valley of the Moon Mitts by Shannon Cook features a large-scale lace repeat surrounded by reverse stockinette
BOTTOM LEFT: Gren by Olga Buraya-Kefelian uses traveling brioche to great graphic effect
BOTTOM RIGHT: Tredje by Irina Anikeeva appear to be quite simple longer gloves with single rib columns set against reverse stockinette, but there’s a surprise twist of cables on in the inner wrist

Love Gren! And I’m with you on the more coverage thing… something so enticing to me right now about mitts that go past the knuckle and well past the wrist bone. The long line! Those elegant fingertips!
There’s just the fine line to walk where they come too far up on the fingers and get in the way, but these all look like they’ve hit it just right.
Yes! Mitts are the new take-along purse knitting project!! So many patterns to dream up, so many colors to choose from, so many lengths to choose from. Let’s hear it for mitts!!
These are wonderful! Beautiful work!
I love knitting fingerless mitts but here in Oregon I wear them walking my dogs and still find my hands are cold. Do I need thicker wool or is it just me?:)
Perhaps you need to knit the mitts with the flip top. Look at Ravelry.
There’s also the foldover variety: https://fringeassociation.com/2015/02/16/new-favorites-foldover-mitts/
Umm, yes cool textured mitts, but love those boots, what are they?
I have no intel on the boots, sorry.
Not related to your mitts pattern but as a slow fashion advocate myself, I thought you’d like to see this
That top pair looks like a great use for some of my handspun.
