A clever and simple mitt pattern worked flat on straight needles, providing a great backdrop for your favourite buttons and perfect for keeping hands warm on chilly summer evenings.

You will need 2 double-pointed needles only for holding stitches and 1 ball of Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece will be enough for 2 pairs of mitts!

Huge thank you to Betsy Makes for the beautiful photographs and Magpielly for yarn support.
