I dislike having my wrists exposed in the cold weather with the inevitable gap between sleeves and mittens, so these mitts were designed with an extra-long cuff. Worn under a coat or sweater sleeve, the decorative border will be your secret, leaving just a flash of a wee skull peeping out of the thumb gussets to show off your fun-loving and quirky side.

The flip-tops make these mitts practical as well as pretty, and with the top up or down, they can be worn from the late fall through the early spring.
