Matches Old Friend Headband

Fingerless mittens featuring lace paw prints and cables to remember your old friend. The ribbing from the cuff becomes the cable running up the length of the mitts, symbolizing the entwined life with our dogs. At the top of the mitt, the cables separate once again when they cross the rainbow bridge.
