These cute fingerless mitts are perfect for cold morning walks. Sized for children through to large adult, they feature small buds up the back of the hand.

These mitts are worked in the round from the cuff upwards, with increases worked for the thumb. The thumb stitches are then placed on hold while the hand is finished before the thumb is completed. Full written instructions are included to complete both hands and work the bud feature.
