Like all the mitts in my ebook, CAT’S FAMILY OF FINGERLESS MITTS, these mitts are knit side to side and closed with a 3-needle bind-off. The included 15-minute Tiny Mitt video will make you feel as if I am beside you showing you just what to do from start to finish.

This design, with rivers of knits that cross over to experience their neighbor’s reality, expresses the heart of the Guadalupe story that first emerged in Mexico in 1531 and spread throughout the Americas and beyond. For centuries, Guadalupe has inspired people at odds with one another to recognize their kindred sacred core. I always have a pair of Guadalupe mitts on my needles, and give them to friends and strangers, asking that they eventually pass them along to someone else. May the wisdom of Guadalupe warm your soul, your hands, and our world.
