A companion to the Porthallow Cowl and Hat, the Porthallow Mittens feature the same colour work, designed to be knitter friendly, with only two colours per row and no long floats.
They are fingerless mittens, knitted from the cuff up.
They have a thumb gusset, for improved fit.
Both sides are alike.
The colour work is charted.
