My office really cranks up the air conditioning in the summer, and I whipped up these mitts one night at home to take to work with me. They were just the thing to keep my fingers warm and still allow me to type and do everything I needed to do.

Two colleagues saw my mitts and asked for a pair for themselves. I made several pairs with partial skeins I had on hand in the days that followed, and decided to write the pattern up for my Ravelry page to offer another easy, last-minute gift alternative that even a beginning crocheter can make in less than an hour!
