Ann,

I don't think there's any differentiation in the "mitts" category. Though fingerless handwear in general seems to be mittens OR mitts. But it all depends on what century and what decade of the century.

Makes me want to take my mitts tomorrow to work at the printing museum. Sometimes equipment rooms are downright chilly, especially if they don't boast a Linotype in residence!

What is  the item called when the fingers are also
differentiated? Usually I  see them ending just before the knuckle,
but I'm thinking about  making some that would only have an open
fingertip. I'm sure I could  just adapt a glove pattern for that, but
I'm just curious if there  is a name for it.

I believe they are also "mitts," but not "fingerless."
