This pattern was originally released in 2007 and has gotten a major update to include my new trick with stitch saver, Lola’s Two-Timing Technique!

Flip Top Mittens are mitts that flip! ‘Cause sometimes you need your fingies, and sometimes you don’t! Thanks to my Lola’s Two-Timing Technique, two layers of fabric are easily created for optimum flippability.

With 8 sizes to choose from, you can knit the perfect pair for everyone in the family—whether you’re knitting for tiny paws or big ol’ mitts. And the best part? This pattern works for both fingering and worsted weight yarns, so you can make them as light or cozy as you like.

This practical, functional mitten pattern is accessible for knitters of all levels. Flip Top Mittens are a must-have for chilly weather when you need to keep your hands toasty but still want the option to free your fingers. Basic? Maybe. Essential? Absolutely!
