Living in Southern California, and thus getting few chances to wear full mittens, I wanted to make a fingerless version of my Ravens in Snow mitts.

I’ve changed the thumb gusset dramatically. I’ve also compacted the ravens graphic, and mirrored it. A pretty lace cuff and garter stitch top edging round out the changes.
