The So Damn Good Mitts are warm, wearable, and a perfect match to the So Damn Good Beanie. These stranded colorwork mitts are available in five sizes (child through adult), and I’ve included easy modification notes so you can adjust the sleeve length. This is especially handy for kiddos who need a little less coverage.

A comfortable thumb gusset gives you a great fit, and you’ll find written and charted instructions for both the wrist/hand and the thumb shaping. The mitts feature corrugated ribbing, stranded colorwork, and lifted increases.

If you’re new to lifted increases, there’s a video tutorial included so you can knit with confidence. And if you’re unsure how to select the right size, instructions are included for correctly measuring your hand.
