Looking for a quick and fun knit? Perfect for yourself or for a gift!

With a totally 80s vibe these mitts favor fashion over function. A cute short cuff with a bow motif followed by an easy mesh panel and short ribbed edge. Pair them with some simple stretch gloves if you want to keep your hands a little warmer!

This pattern comes in two variations - A DK weight version and a Worsted weight version. In attempts to make a variety of sizes, the DK comes in XS - L and the Worsted comes in S - XL.

This pattern is beginner friendly with lots of notes and links to unique techniques including the cast on, bow stitch and cast off.
