About the mittens

The bear hand mittens are very easy double sided mittens knitted in bouclé yarn with cuffs knitted in merino wool.

You start knitting the extra long cuff, moving on to the hand and the thumb. Then you will pick up stitches on the other end of the cuff and repeat knitting the hand. Lastly you will fold the mitten inside itself for some cozy double sided mittens.

The left and right hands are knitted the same way.

PS. You can make the mittens reversible by using another color on the inside.
