These are fun convertible mittens in worsted/medium weight yarn. Hopefully, a child’s ability to flip open the “Pop Top” to expose their fingers will keep them from taking off mittens and losing them.

Measure the circumference of your child’s hand and choose the size that most closely matches. You can easily adjust length in the pattern by adding or eliminating rounds.

Designer’s note: Pattern calls for size 5 and 7 needles (US); gauge was achieved on sizes 6 and 8 for the Pink/Purple gloves (Queensland Collection Rustic Wool).
