Here the simple, graphic motif of the sweater Rospigg has ended up on a pair of hardwearing mittens with long cuffs that give extra warmth round the wrists when worn either single or folded over.

These mittens are worked in two colourways: Late Summer and Winter.

Method: the mittens are knitted in rounds from the bottom up. The thumb gusset is knitted at the side following the chart and
the thumb is worked in the same pattern.
