This is a great hott mitt. The yarn is held doubled and they are worked on size 9 US needles. Pattern is written for double points, but you can easily use the magic loop method, if preferred.

You start at the finger tips and work down the hand toward the wrist.

The finger portion is worked separately from the thumb section and they are joined with a 3 needle bind-off, to add extra padding at the join.

One ball of Peaches and Creme will be enough for one mitt.

My family kept looking at the blue one and wanted a face on it. So, I embroidered a face with scraps of yarn. The face is optional, but fun. :)
