Fingerless mittens are just perfect for those in between weathers! Warm and cosy, but still gives the wearer a lot of flexibility! The Secret Garden mittens, as well as their companion socks, came out of a dream I have about a beautiful secret little nook in a garden somewhere, a little hideaway where I can rest and relax. They want to add a little secret glamour and romance to your day!
