Windy City mitts are two for one: a single glove that looks like a pair of fingerless mitts pulled over a pair of regular gloves. Double knit in the round from the bottom up, the outer layer of stitches is separated from the back at the knuckles and worked in a rib pattern. The double knitting adds an extra layer of warmth over the wrist, while maintaining the finer quality of fingering-weight colorwork, and greater dexterity for the fingers.

As an added bonus, an optional flip-top fingertip guarantees easy smart phone access!
