Notes

Yardage of each colour is approximate but total is accurate.

I’m heading to Prince George, B.C., for work next month and wanted to whip up something to keep my hands warm. (I live in Vancouver and usually only need fingerless mitts.) I wanted to use up this boring black yarn and its related blue and green; they’ve been in my stash forever. I only have one skein of black, and it wasn’t quite enough for my original plan, so I had to wing it on the second mitt, so they don’t quite match. Close enough, though.

I incorporated texting holes for the index finger and the thumb like in this DROPS design and Elizabeth LeBlanc’s Bulky Texting Mitts.
