Sit Tight
Knitters love to flex and show off their wares in cold weather. Sit Tight is designed for fashion-forward times when you must spend extra time in the cold but want to look stylish while you do it! Just as a mitten provides added warmth for a single hand, a muff provides snuggly warmth for two hands!
The fluffy muff body is designed with a larger circumference to keep your hands toasty warm within. Cuff length is adjustable, and the ribbed cuffs can be pushed into the muff or worn outside the piece depending on preference. Work a longer cuff and fold and seam the piece to create a secret inner pocket.
