Read reviews of the PSP 3000 PlayStation Portable. Hear about both the PROS and the CONS from real consumers – no holds barred. Then you can make your own mind up

You got plenty of great advice, so I’ll just say that yarn is gorgeous! The mittens turned out great even though they’re a little short.

I love Malabrigo too! In fact, I just got some yesterday.

Not sure how to convert fingerless gloves to mittens, but here is a mitten pattern I like:

This isn’t going to help, but did you tried the pattern from http://knitty.com/ISSUEsummer06/PATTknucks.html
They look complicated, but you only lose some time in the beginnig, making the fingers, and them it just goes fast. It worked for me, those were my first ones and i made another pair for my husband

Sleepycat has good advice for making mittens, but I want to second Melody — I think these fingerless gloves are a bit short on you.

I made a pair this short one time and had the same bare/awkward feeling that you described. Since then, I keep going at *least* over the knuckles and usually a bit farther up the finger… maybe to the first knuckle? (Definitely covering the palm — I think that’s the part that feels weird to me when they’re short — the uncovered palm.) They are much more comfortable when they’re longer.

So you might want to consider that before abandoning the idea of fingerless mitts altogether — they’re pretty useful and they look cool!

If you don’t want to tear these back, perhaps you could make them into convertible mittens by putting the mitten cap on them. Google is your friend — poke around and you’ll find plenty of patterns for convertible mittens that you could adapt.

Hi Heather, try and see if you can modify this pattern: http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEfall02/PATTbroadstreet.html
I’ve used these kind of mittens for the last 20 years and they combine the best of both worlds. Use the flap when you’re cold and have your fingers at the ready when you need to count out change for just one more lollipop.

I’ve made mittens before but not Fetching. My suggestion would be to keep going on the hand until you are about 1/2″ or so below the top of the pinky and start decreasing on both sides like you would the toe of a sock (decrease 4 stitches every other round). When you get to a row or two past the end of your middle finger kitchner it off. On the thumb, same thing go to about 1/2 from the end and decrease until you get just past the end (you’ll probably have maybe 4-6 stitches left), cut your yarn, thread it through a yarn needle, and just pull the yarn through all the remaining stitches and pull it together like a drawstring bag top.
