Nid Mittens feature a slightly tight cable knit pattern that keeps your hands warm. Brighten up your winter mood with a charming yet sophisticated design. They also make a lovely gift. They start with the ribbing on the cuff, then the body of the mitten is knit. Next, the thumb is separated from the main body and both parts are knit to the tips.
