These are toasty warm mitts in a textured rib. Instruction are given for either working flat or in the round. There are three sizes, child, teenage or adult. The mitts are just beyond wrist length and sit snugly on the hand, with shaping to include the thumb. The rib pattern gives them both visual and practical appeal.
The mitts take from approx. 20 grams (child) to 50 grams (adult). The example shown is knitted in a possum/merino mix DK weight from Dye Happy yarns, however they work well with any DK weight yarn.
