This design is a collaboration with Crafty That Way, using a combination of texture and colourwork to create a fun and ‘sweet’ treat without the calories.

These mittens are knit with a ribbed cuff to fold into the mitten or to wear under the sleeve for extra warmth, a textured cuff to create an ice cream cone look, and a thumb gusset.
