Mittums-mittens and all other my self published patterns are 50% off until Sunday 17th December midnight (GMT), no code needed. Happy holidays!

Mittums-mittens are worked in the round starting with Tubular Cast On for the cuff, the thumb has an arched gusset. The extra long folded cuff provides extra warmth for the long, cold winter days. The pattern is written for Magic Loop Technique but you can use double pointed needles.

The pattern has instructions for both fingering and DK weight yarn.
