Gerda Mittens are warm reversible double-layer mittens worked from 100% wool yarn. They can be worn with the textured pattern facing out or turned inside out with the stockinette stitch side facing out. The anatomical thumb gusset provides a neat and comfortable fit, while the smooth mitten closure creates a clean finish.
The pattern is written for the Magic Loop method and includes instructions for both right and left mittens. The instructions are very detailed and include step-by-step photos and video links for the more challenging parts.
