Winter Sol Mittens & Mitts

Knitted from the cuff up, these cozy mittens feature an eye-catching decorative colorwork band that highlights the color changes and adds a lovely geometric detail to the design. The thumb is worked using an ergonomically shaped gusset to ensure a comfortable and snug fit around the hand.

This pattern is highly customizable: it includes three comprehensive sizes and offers full instructions to modify the design into fingerless mitts.
