Moulin Rouge Fingerless Mitts
Warm Hands Warm The Heart offers eight enticing mitten projects, with a selection of "primer" basics such as beginner Fair Isle mittens and fingerless mitts, to help ease the novice knitter into knitting-the-round.  

Moulin Rouge, designed by Lisa Ellis, is not only a super-stylish fingerless mitt, it's also a fun project if you're interested in trying out a cool technique. This design utilizes a method called Twining, traditionally known as Tvåändsstickning. This method of knitting can be worked with either one or two colors and is done with bot yarns carried across the back or front of the fabric, or changed from back to front or vice versa, as needed for the pattern. 

Whether you're beginner or advanced, this exciting "How To" book has something every knitter will enjoy. Several projects incorporate alternate ways to work-in-the-round, along with a variety of designs featuring intarsia and advanced Fair Isle techniques, color work, drop stitch elements and embroidered details. The patterns offer generous sizing options from kids to adult.

Some knitters favor the tried and true method of using double-point needles, while others wouldn't dare use anything but a circular needle. This book offers multiple avenues for learning which construction method works best for you. 

If mitten making is on your gift-giving list this holiday season, and if learning something new is what you seek, then Warm Hands Warm The Heart is the solution.
