You will find these mittens quick to knit up and wonderfully warm for little hands. They have been “kid-tested” by my seven children, and they love them! They have an extra long cuff to keep out the snow and cold and are easily adjusted for the perfect fit. These mittens come in four sizes, plus a bonus Thumbless Mitten pattern for your littlest ones.
