The bold graphic of these mittens is reminiscent of the architecture of the Montreal Exposition of 1967. They are knitted from the cuff up, on a circular needle using magic loop method. The top of the mitten uses both cabling and colour stranding, and the palm is done with colour stranding in a simple design. The cuff is generous and can be folded over.
