If you were a test knitter for these please let me know. I have had email issues since these were tested in March 2019.

These mitts are a modern take on those Victorian era Steampunk button up gloves. The mitts are simple and super quick to knit up making a great weekend project or a single day project for those with several dedicated free hours for knitting. Bonus is that with the proper yarn color and button choice the Steampunk/Victorian nature of these mitts will really shine! The instructions are slightly different for the right and left hand mitts, so make sure to read the pattern carefully.

The most common wrist size is 7 inches (17.78cm) in circumference. This pattern will accommodate wrists from 7 to 8 inches (17.78 to 20.32cm) in circumference. And notes are included for changing the size for smaller or larger wrists.
