PRINTING Note: This is a checklist pattern; it is not necessary to print the entire pattern if you prefer not to use the checkboxes for each section.

PATTERN NOTES: The little “bows” of texture stitches on this design reminded me of two little hands connected at the pink fingers and I couldn’t get that image out of my mind. They are easy to knit and will knit up quickly. Knit your preferred length, long or short. The mitts are designed to be knit with 1-2” of negative ease.

The gesture is taken to signify that the person can break the finger of the one who broke the promise.
