The Split Tabi Mitts are knit seamlessly in the round using the magic loop technique and feature the classic tabi split, with the index finger separated from the others. They are designed to fit snugly, allowing for warmth without being bulky.

Since wearing gloves can sometimes be a bit fiddly, there’s the added option of a thumb slit, allowing you to slip your thumb free whenever you need to swipe, scroll, or type on your phone, all without sacrificing warmth in the rest of your hand.
