It is best to use a fairly stretchy method of casting-on and off. A neater edge to the piece is formed if you sl the first st of every row p-wise instead of knitting/purling it, but do not do this for the thumb-hole.

I am a period costumer re-enactor and have been looking for a 2 ply knitting pattern for Lacy fingerless mittens. The mitten pattern need only have the lacy bit on the front although I think that they would be more period correct if they were lacy all over. I hope someone would be able to help me as I have been trying for the last year or so to find a pattern.
