The starting point for these mitts was the icy blue shade of Julie Asselin Nurtured, called Through The Looking Glass. Colorwork ideas in a muted wintry palette started to form in my head, though these mitts would look equally good in a brighter, higher contrast combination.

These are simple to work, with an afterthought thumb and no gusset. Notes for choosing the best size for your hands are included in the pattern.
