The Korpi mittens feature a charming vine-inspired colorwork pattern. With floats that are just two stitches long, this design is perfect for beginners and simple to knit. Plus, you can use leftover yarn for this project!

These mittens come with a long cuff that can be folded over if you wish. The addition of a thumb gusset ensures a comfortable fit on your hand. The mittens are knitted from the cuff to the top.*
