These mitts are both luxurious and practical. Perfect for beachcombing!

If your fingers get cold, unfold the top cuff; otherwise, fold it as shown for a cute, cozy look.

The textured pattern is easily unisex and is offered in four sizes.

Small details like an option tubular cast on and bind off and a subtly accented thumb gusset elevate these otherwise simple mitts.
